Carrying the Tiger: Living with Cancer, Dying with Grace, Finding Joy While Grieving

When Tony Stewart and his wife learned that she had incurable cancer, they sat together at the kitchen table—holding hands, cherishing their love, and wondering how to make the most of the time that remained. They didn’t know whether they had weeks, months or years. They just knew they had to summon their courage and take the first step. “A beautifully devastating memoir … A remarkable odyssey of learning to ‘live fully in the shadow of death.’” — Publishers Weekly (Editor’s Pick) Carrying the Tiger is Tony’s raw and honest account of the years that followed: the surprising twists and turns of Lynn’s treatment, the beauty and grace of her death beside him, and his struggle to climb out of shattering grief and accept new love. Adapted from journals that he wrote in real time to keep friends and family informed, reading it is like looking over his shoulder as he and Lynn navigate treacherous waters, with no idea how their choices will play out. Winner: GOLD MEDAL, Global Book Awards; GOLD MEDAL, IndieReader Discovery Awards; SILVER MEDAL, Readers' Favorite Awards 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 seems lost, it shows that even in the darkest places, light can break through. "A masterclass in facing life's hardest moments with grace." — IndieReader It’s for the caregiver who is powering through without realizing how much that costs. Tony was that person, until he broke. For the cancer patient who wants to keep living fully even as the world closes in around them. For the widow or widower who feels moments of joy returning and doesn’t know whether they are allowed. For anyone who has wondered if they are doing this wrong. You are not, and you do not have to carry your tiger alone. --- “A captivating story of love, devotion and care that kept me reading long past my bedtime.” — Reader review "Tony Stewart writes with unflinching honesty about love and loss at the deepest level. The book is both devastating and hopeful as we accompany Tony through his wife's diagnosis and illness and his subsequent discovery that joy and grief can live hand in hand." — Jessica Fein, author of Breath Taking: A Memoir of Family, Dreams, and Broken Genes “A beautiful and very human love story which breathes an extraordinary generosity of spirit." — David Newman, author of Talking with Doctors "Heart-wrenching... beautifully describes the couple's unique relationship" — Kirkus Reviews "This is a work that will strengthen all who read it.” — Khalid Dar, MD, Oncologist, Mount Sinai Morningside
