Love, Loss, and Finding Joy Again

from Heartache, Health, and Healing · host Brenda Mundt

In today's episode, I had the honor and pleasure to sit down with Tony Stewart — an author and certified grief educator whose story is beautiful, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful. His memoir Carrying the Tiger: Living with Cancer, Dying with Grace, Finding Joy While Grieving shares the story of his life with his wife Lynn as they faced her incurable cancer, the pain of loss, and the surprising path to healing.During our conversation, Tony opens up with refreshingly honest detail about what it’s like to stand beside someone you love through illness, how you find meaning when everything you know changes, and how you rebuild when you aren’t sure what “normal” looks like anymore. We talk about grief, yes—but also joy, resilience, and love in the midst of it all.If you’ve ever walked the road of loss, or known someone who has, this one is for you. Tony’s story reminds us that the hardest chapters can still hold profound beauty—and that healing isn’t about forgetting, but about carrying forward with heart.Grab your favorite beverage, get comfy and listen in on this heartfelt conversation.
