Carrying the Tiger - by Tony Stewart (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"A beautiful and very human love story which breathes an extraordinary generosity of spirit." - David Newman, author of Talking with Doctors

On a sunny afternoon in 2014, Tony Stewart's wife receives a sudden and devastating diagnosis. Thus begins an extraordinary journey, as Tony and Lynn learn to live fully in the shadow of death-until, six years later, they share the intimate grace of Lynn's departure from this world. Then Tony's second journey begins: learning to live fully in a world without Lynn.

As Tony reflects on the uncertainty, fear, and sorrow of those years, he also reflects on their meaning: How can one feel tenderness and joy in the midst of shattering grief? What does it mean to live and love with one's whole heart, regardless of the prognosis?

Poignant, heartrending, and ultimately hopeful, Carrying the Tiger is a memoir for anyone hoping to find comfort in discomfort and embrace a new perspective on death.
