Review Quotes: "For over half a century, the eminent psychiatrist Irvin Yalom has dazzled the world with his stories of the human psyche packed with wisdom, insight, and humor. Now, with stunning candor and courage, he shares with us the most difficult experience of his life: the loss of his wife and steadfast companion since adolescence. Partners to the end, including in the co-writing of this book, they share an indelible portrait of bereavement--the terror, pain, denial, and reluctant acceptance. But what we are left with is much more than a profound story of enduring loss--it's an unforgettable and achingly beautiful story of enduring love. I will be thinking about this for years to come." --Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed
