A Matter of Death and Life

This book is painfully beautiful! If I hadn't been on a train while reading, I would have sobbed. Love and death are two things that are so difficult to comprehend. But how do you cope when the love of your life is dying right before your eyes? How do you manage when they've accepted death and you haven't? It's heartbreaking. I thought I was prepared to mourn a death, but after reading this, I realize I'm not as strong as I thought.

This memoir is one of the most beautiful I've ever read (second only to The Glass Castle). Even if you're not familiar with the Yaloms, you will feel deeply connected to them by the end. I highly recommend this book—it's impossible to read without shedding a few tears.

PS: I was on a train when I completed this book. And there was an old couple seated right in front of me! That's the kind of love I yearn for. Isn't that beautiful? I shall upload it on my X. Check out the photo.
