Irvin Yalom:
“At the time of writing this book, we are at an age when most of our contemporaries have already passed away. We now know every day that the time we have together is limited and extremely precious.
"I fell in love with her 73 years ago, and we just celebrated our 65th wedding anniversary. I know it's very rare to love someone for such a long time. But even today, I still admire everything about her - her elegance, beauty, kindness and wisdom are so amazing. I could walk into a room filled with a thousand women and I would only have eyes for her.
"After Marilyn passed away, I looked deeply at her photo again and again. Each time, tears would fill my eyes and flow down my cheeks. I felt a sharp pain in my chest, but nothing I could do was to stop. Over and over again, I was engulfed by the same tide of pain.
"I had expected that when she left me, she would take a big part of my life with her, and now it has come true.
"I know that one day I will put the photo back on the wall and look at it with peace and joy. When our eyes meet, they will be filled with love and gratitude, gratitude for having been together in this life.
“I remember her repeating over and over again: ‘The death of an 87-year-old woman who has no regrets about her life is not a tragedy.’ “I was struck by the idea that the more fully you live, the better you can die. And for me, that was the truth.”
