Still Running After All These Tears

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 space of 17 months. Feeling utterly broken as she navigated these bereavements, Lisa turned to an old friend that had helped her through many tough times before: running. But whereas it had previously been a source of solace, fun and companionship, before long a debilitating injury meant she lost her running mojo, too. Aiming to complete her 109th marathon in Graham`s honour, 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 realised running wasn`t just helping her get fitter, it was also taking her on a journey from heartache 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-enhancing 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.
