About book I Will Carry You (Library Edition): The Sacred Dance Of Grief And Joy (2012)

This book was really good and I appreciated the author's authenticity and insights. There is a line in the book where she says that at one point she was not "strong enough yet to be weak." And, for me, that hits the nail on the head as far as who should read this book. If you have lost a child in the womb or at a young age, I think it *could* be a healing thing to share in this other mama's story of the same IF you are to the point of being strong enough to be weak. It is very hard to read and I "ugly cried" throughout. She shares her experiences very openly and in great detail. She is gentle but detailed. So, I'm not sure I would recommend this outright to someone in the middle of grief per se. Reading her experiences would no doubt take you back in a very real way to your own, so before you read it, make sure you are strong enough to be weak in this way. It is a gorgeous story of one mama leaning in to God's love during the worst trial of her life and offers good tips for parenting young children through the loss of a sibling. Her insights from Scripture are wonderful and healing. This book was super sad but a pretty awesome read! I didn't except to like it as much as I did. Though the author is not of my religion her insights and faith really strengthened my own! She relates the whole experience through the book to the story of Lazarus. How she pulled it all together was really touching and made me love the story of Lazarus like I never had before. I feel so inspired by this beautiful mother and her faith to carry a child to term who she knew wouldn't live! (I should probably mention it's a little slow in some places) It's a hard read but I am so glad I read it! It reminded me to hold my little ones a little closer today!
