About this listen

An inspiring story of love, loss and renewal in the wake of a devastating diagnosis

When Tony Stewart and his wife, Lynn, learned that she had incurable cancer, they sat together at their kitchen table—holding hands, cherishing their time, and wondering how to make the most of what remained.

Thus began their extraordinary journey, of courage, humor, heartbreak, and unshakable love. Even after Lynn’s passing, Tony continued to walk beside her in memory, finding ways to honor his grief while opening his heart to healing.

Carrying the Tiger is both a love story and a guide for anyone touched by illness, loss, or grief. As Tony describes his experiences during 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 your whole heart, regardless of the outcome?

Tender, heartrending, and ultimately hopeful, Carrying the Tiger reminds us that even in the darkest places, light still breaks through. It will move you, comfort you, and stay with you long after the final tick.
