Tony Stewart: Carrying the Tiger, Gebunden

Klappentext

An inspiring story of love, loss and the courage to keep living fully

Winner, GOLD MEDAL, Global Book Awards - Editor's Pick, Publishers Weekly

When Tony Stewart 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 through fear, heartbreak, and profound grace, as they learned 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 the posts he wrote to keep friends and family informed, 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 back toward life. Tony shares what many of us experience but rarely speak aloud: that healing doesn't mean forgetting, and that opening your heart again doesn't diminish the love you carry.

If you're caring for someone with terminal illness, this book walks beside you. 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 remind you that even in darkness, light breaks through.

This is the book Tony wished he'd had. Now it's here for you: honest, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful.
