Lisa Niemi and Patrick Swayze first met as teenagers at his mother's dance studio. He was older and just a bit cocky; she was the gorgeous waif who refused to worship the ground he walked on. It didn't take long for them to fall in love. Their thirty-four year marriage -- which they explored together in The Time of My Life -- was a uniquely passionate partnership. Now, for the first time, Lisa will share what it was like to care for her husband as he battled Stage IV pancreatic cancer, and will describe his last days when she simply tried to keep him comfortable. She writes searingly about her grief in the aftermath of Patrick's death, and candidly discusses the challenges that the past fourteen months without him have posed. But while this is an emotionally honest and unflinching depiction of illness, death, 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, and the love shared between two people will never truly die.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:
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 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. Their marriage strained under the pressures that many do, but through all of its ups and downs, it was 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 people stop and think about what that really means? Couples worry about the fact that their marriages have only a 50/50 chance of surviving, but no one ever talks about the fact that even if you stay married, the death of a spouse is inevitable. Worth Fighting For is a remarkably candid look at what it means to lose a partner-how to care for him or her, how to make it through each day without losing your sanity, 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 candidly discusses the challenges that the years without him have posed.
The role of the caretaker is overwhelming, often thankless, and rarely explored. While this is an emotionally honest and unflinching depiction of illness, death, 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 strengths to call upon. Lisa 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.
