Worth Fighting For: Love Loss and Moving Forward

Wait a minute . . .

. . . there.

I made it to the next moment.

And that’s how you get through a bad moment of grief. You do it one moment at a time.

—from Worth Fighting For

LISA NIEMI and PATRICK SWAYZE were married for thirty-four years. They first met as teenagers at his mother’s dance studio—he was older and just a bit cocky; she was the beautiful waif who refused to worship the ground he walked on. Through the years their marriage strained under the pressures that many do but it was always a uniquely passionate and creative partnership.

When they first exchanged vows Lisa promised to be with her husband “till death do us part.” But how many couples stop and think about what that truly means? Worth Fighting For is a remarkably candid look at what losing a partner really entails—how to care for him or her how to make it through each day without falling into despair and how to move forward in the second half of your life when the person you spent the first half with is gone.

For the first time Lisa Niemi Swayze shares the details of Patrick’s twenty-one-month battle with Stage IV pancreatic cancer and she describes his last days when she simply tried to keep him comfortable. She writes with heartbreaking honesty about her grief in the aftermath of Patrick’s death and she openly discusses the challenges that the years without him have posed.

While this is an emotionally honest and un-flinching depiction of illness and loss it is also a hopeful and life-affirming exploration of the power of the human spirit. Lisa shows that no matter how dark the prospect of another day may seem there are always reserves of strength to call upon. She writes “I tell you I am a different person now. One who has been thrown into the fire and forged.” Like The Year of Magical Thinking and A Widow’s Story this book is both a tribute to a marriage and a celebration of the healing power that each day holds even in the most difficult of circumstances.[]

A Grief Observed

Written after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the "mad midnight moment" A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life death and faith in the midst of loss. This work contains his concise genuine reflections on that period: "Nothing will shake a man -- or at any rate a man like me -- out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself." This is a beautiful and unflinchingly homest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe and how he can gradually regain his bearings.
