Winner, GOLD MEDAL, Global Book Awards ¿ Editor's Pick, Publishers Weekly An inspiring story of love, loss and renewal. Tony Stewart and his wife navigate her cancer treatment with humor and grace, and after she dies, his journey through grief reveals that grief and joy can coexist. When Tony and his wife Lynn learned that she had incurable cancer, they faced an impossible truth: their time together was running out. What followed was an extraordinary journey of courage, heartbreak and enduring love, as they navigated the twists and turns of Lynn's treatment while learning to live fully in the shadow of death. Carrying the Tiger chronicles their final years together with unflinching honesty and deep tenderness. Through Tony's eyes and excerpts from his journal, we witness the intimate moments that matter most: hands held across the kitchen table; difficult decisions made with courage and hope; love, laughter and dancing at midnight; and the honor and privilege of being present for Lynn's final breath. But Carrying the Tiger doesn't end with Lynn's passing. It continues into the wilderness of grief: the shattering disorientation, the guilt, the slow and uncertain path toward life, as Tony learns to experience joy again without diminishing his love for Lynn. If you're caring for someone with terminal illness, this book illuminates the road ahead. If you're navigating the aftermath of loss, it offers the comfort of shared experience. And if you're simply wondering how to keep living when everything has changed, these pages prove that even in darkness, light can break through. This is the book Tony wished he'd had. Now it's here for you: inspiring, informative and profoundly moving.
