A Matter of Death and Life is a late-life memoir and existential reflection by psychiatrist Irvin D. Yalom and feminist scholar Marilyn Yalom. Written after Marilyn receives a terminal cancer diagnosis, the book follows their final months together and Irvin first months of widowhood through alternating perspectives. Its subject is intimate and specific, yet its purpose is broader: to examine how people face mortality, separation, dependency, grief, and love when death is no longer abstract. The book belongs to several overlapping genres, including memoir, grief literature, medical humanities, and existential psychology. It is not a clinical manual, although Irvin Yalom lifelong work in psychotherapy informs its language and concerns. Nor is it only a private family record, because Marilyn and Irvin use their experience to consider questions that arise for many patients, partners, caregivers, and aging readers. The result is a candid account of dying, surviving, and assessing a shared life without sentimentality or denial.
