A tale of love, loss, and laughter, this life-affirming memoir describes one woman's determination to survive unbearable grief - and get back into running - one step at a time.
Lisa didn't think anything could be more devastating than the death of her beloved husband Graham. But then she lost her sister and father too - all in the span of 17 months.
Feeling utterly broken as she navigated these losses, Lisa turned to an old friend who had helped her through many tough times before: running. But whereas it had previously been a source of comfort, fun, and companionship, before long a debilitating injury also meant she lost her running mojo.
Aiming to complete her 109th marathon in Graham's honor, Lisa set out to rekindle her love affair with running - and to build a new life by the sea. As she laughed and cried her way through the miles, she realized that running wasn't just helping her get fitter; it was also taking her on a journey from heartbreak to hope.
Still Running After All These Tears is a survival manual for the broken-hearted, and for anyone struggling with major life challenges. It's a celebration of the redemptive power of running and the life-affirming lessons it can teach us. Above all, it's a meditation on how to thrive in the face of trauma, what makes a good death, and most importantly, how to lead a joyous, meaningful life.
