About book I Will Carry You: The Sacred Dance Of Grief And Joy (2010)

This book is a very tough book to get through. The story is a couple are pregnant with their fourth daughter and at an ultrasound are told she is not compatable with life. So they chose to continue the pregnancy to have every second with this daughter they can. Even knowing this going into the book...it was still so hard to read and at times I had to lay the book down for a few minutes. I love that the book is full of scriptures and how the author relates her struggles to Lazerus and Job. The prayers in the book are wonderful. I would recommend reading this book even if you never had an issue like this in your life. You can always relate to a loss and she even includes subjects on how to be there for other people as they go through a loss. This book moved me to tears several times. I would highly recommend this book to anyone. I discovered Audrey's story when I lost my daughter, Dakota. For the past few months, I have been mainly interested in reading books written by people who went through the loss of a child. As soon as I began reading, I couldn't stop. Audrey's story touched me. I absolutely love the Bible references within this book and the Faith written within the words. As I was reading this, I have to say that Angie opened my eyes to different aspects of our loss. I was very touched spiritually while reading this book. I believe now that God had a purpose for Dakota and used her to bring me closer to him for a life plan he has for me. I believe his plan for me is to help others who are going through the same thing I did. As I read Audrey's story, it helped to to reflect back on my own written story of my angel baby. I couldn't believe how similar they were but yet, they were so different. I am one of those parents who was thrown into the grief and I didn't have the time to prepare myself or my daughter. This book has helped me form the words I needed to answer some of the questions my daughter has asked. Angie has made me realize that it is okay to say, "I don't know" and not feel like I was letting her down.I couldn't help but comparing I Will Carry You with my own published book, Saying Goodbye Without Saying Hello. I felt like another side of the story was being told. I want to say that this book will help those who are lost after they have experienced the heartbreaking event of child-loss and it'll help those who haven't gone through it to understand.I believe there is so much more to this story and it's a message to those who question their own Faith. I must say that after reading this, I picked up my Bible for the first time in months and began reading it. So, a HUGE thank you goes out to Angie Smith for sharing her story.
