Three days ago I was listening to Selah. I was thinking of Angie and Todd Smith's story. Again, today, I am nudged to share this resource.
I Will Carry You, the Sacred Dance of Grief and Joy by Angie Smith
From Amazon
In 2008, Angie Smith and her husband Todd (lead singer of the group Selah) learned through ultrasound that their fourth daughter had conditions making her “incompatible with life.” Advised to terminate the pregnancy, the Smiths chose instead to carry this child and allow room for a miracle. That miracle came the day they met Audrey Caroline and got the chance to love her for the precious two-and-a-half hours she lived on earth.
Upon receiving the original diagnosis, Angie
started a blog (Bring the Rain) to keep family and friends informed of
their journey. Soon, the site exploded in popularity, connecting with
thousands who were either experiencing their own heartbreaking
situations or simply curious about how God could carry someone through
something so tragic. I Will Carry You tells the powerful story of
a parent losing her child, interwoven with the biblical story of
Lazarus to help those who mourn to still have hope—to find grace and
peace in the sacred dance of grief and joy.
