We are sad to inform you that Marilyn Yalom died in November, 2019. She was a teacher to the end, viewing her impending death as “the culmination of a rich life,” rather than a tragedy.
She was productive through her year-long illness. As she sat on the couch in her Palo Alto home, looking out the windows at the roses and apricot trees in the backyard, she dreamed up not one, but two books she wanted to complete before her time was up. Both will be published in 2021. Read more about Marilyn. |
