Internationally renowned psychiatrist and author Irvin Yalom has devoted his career to counselling those suffering from anxiety and grief.

At the age of 74, best-selling author Irvin Yalom turns his attention to one of the great human questions: our fear of death. He suggests that what he calls the 'awakening experience' can help us acknowledge, accept, and make use of our fear of death in a positive manner. These awakening experiences often follow a loss, a trauma, or the death of a loved one, illness or just growing old. Yalom shows us how such an awakening can be the turning point for a more meaningful life.

It was early one sunny January morning in 2005 when Jacquie, who was up to walk our dog, quietly lent down to me in bed, lightly kissed me on the cheek, and whispered, "Love you, see you later." Those were the last words she ever said to me. We follow the events of that day, the hospital, the surgery, the police, the 11-month murder trial, the press conference, and where myself and my boys are now, 13 years on. It also includes what hints and tips I used to keep us positive whilst rebuilding our lives and looking to the future.
