Now With You, Now Without: My Journey Through Life and Loss

In the final months of her husband’s terminal illness, Kathryn Leigh Scott was determined to make the most of every precious minute they had left. Despite Geoff’s debilitating condition and the difficulties of caregiving, the couple decided to travel the world. Anticipating new horizons and experiences was not only an embraceable antidote—it was the very heart of Kathryn’s mantra: “If not now, when?”

When the time came to face Geoff’s inevitable passing, the voyage she had begun with the man she loved did not end. Kathryn continued on across the globe. Through grief, guilt, and coming to terms, their shared adventure evolved into an exhilarating journey to find the way back to herself.

A celebration of life, of coping with death, of cherishing memories, and of finding the courage to move forward, Kathryn’s personal story is for anyone who has ever suffered a loss. It’s an inspirational reminder—for yourself and those you love—not to waste the moments you have, here and now.
