I Will Carry You: The Sacred Dance of Grief and Joy

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. Endorsement "This is a beautiful and tender book that would touch any woman's heart, no matter her age or realm of experience. It is about a relationship so intimate with God that it carves a safe place for crises of faith, for faith proved genuine and for divine callings willed, sealed and fulfilled. Yes, this is one mother's moving story. This one mother also happens to be a true writer. We will hear more from her. Angie, I am so proud of you. May Christ continue to tip the ink jar toward your gifted quill."

Life Touches Life... A Mother's Story of Stillbirth and Healing by Lorraine Ash

Although 26,000 babies are stillborn in the United States every year, stillbirth continues to be a taboo subject. Life Touches Life shatters the silence that has hidden a bane as old as humankind. Lorraine Ash met that silence head-on when, after a trouble-free pregnancy, her baby was declared dead on what was to be her date of birth. After a C-section, Ash fought a fever that raged at 104 degrees and she almost succumbed to the silent B-strep infection that had robbed her daughter of life. Awed by the experience, which was to change her forever, Ash sought solace and perspective in all the old places and found little relief. In her book she tears down the walls of misunderstanding that isolated her in her hour—indeed years—of need. "Shattering the silence is essential if mothers are to integrate their loss into their daily lives," Ash writes. "A child who only existed inside her mother, can continue to spiritually exist there and the two can remain close." Ash discusses the inner changes she faced after the stillbirth of her daughter and delves into spiritual questions that shook her soul. The final message: Epiphanies emerge from the stuff of everyday experience. Hope is here.

Sometimes I Cry In The Shower: A Grieving Father's Journey To Wholeness And Healing by R. Glenn Kell

You are here because you know, somewhere inside, it is truly time to begin the journey forward. You are a man who has experienced the profound loss of someone you love dearly. Feeling despondent? Lost? It could not be more understandable. After all, you had a “Blueprint” for your future mentally and emotionally drawn out ahead of you, which included that someone you love so dearly. That was the future you had planned on…laid your dreams on! Then, suddenly, your blueprint was brutally ripped away, and you were left not only anguishing for that one you lost, but also wondering, “Where do I go from here?” As a man, do you feel that instinctive urge to keep all those emotions within grief stuffed deeply inside, where no one will think you unmanly and weak? Do you feel it is wrong to have an urge to seek out those tasks and activities which allow you to organize, systemize and put yourself in control of something after the loss? Anything? These are not wrong responses. Instead, they are natural reaction of who you are. However, they can be incredibly unhealthy and destructive if not acknowledged, understood, and addressed. Women – Do you want to understand your man? If the two of you sadly lost a child, do you think he loved that precious gift less because he does not openly cry as often as you…or seemingly not at all? Do you understand why, at times, he puts his own grief aside to care for others, or crawl off to contemplatively spend time alone? Men grieve and hurt as deeply as a woman, yet men and women are programmed through both Nature and Nurture to do so in a different manner. Did we men get our “manly” traits from our fathers during childhood, when Dad repeatedly told us, “Big boys don’t cry?” Or, were those traits genetically burned into our very DNA from the dawn of mankind, when we spent months away on the hunt, silently and stoically repressing fear as we stalked that which could easily turn the tables and have us as a meal? Why are women so much more empathetic then men, with an instinct to constantly survey the feelings of others around them? Why do they instinctively desire to gather in groups to share feelings? How can the mother tell the needs of a newborn child when that infant does not even have the ability to speak? Are these skills and traits something which must be taught, generation after generation, or is each gender, male or female, “pre-wired” to be who we are? Come inside “Sometimes I Cry In The Shower” and discover how we can begin to heal while being patient with ourselves…and each other. Only through understanding and acceptance can we begin the journey towards a life of wholeness and healing. Peace and purpose, R. Glenn Kelly “As a grieving father, R. Glenn Kelly exposes the inner thoughts of a man who has lost the most precious of gifts; his child. Written with the powerful and honest emotion that only someone who has walked in his shoes can truly understand, R. Glenn provides encouragement, insight, and hope to men who are “in the club no one wants to belong to.” He allows us to walk with him on his path from hidden despair to emerging hope as he discovers his way towards living a life that is fulfilling and honoring to the legacy left behind by his son. Although intended for grieving fathers, Sometimes I Cry in the Shower benefits anyone who has lost a loved one, or loves someone who has. With compassion, humor, and sincerity, Mr. Kelly shows us that love never dies and hope is truly eternal.”

Grieving Dads: To the Brink and Back by Kelly Farley with David Dicola

Grieving Dads: To the Brink and Back is a collection of candid stories from grieving dads that were interviewed over a two year period. The book offers insight from fellow members of, in the haunting words of one dad, “this terrible, terrible club,” which consists of men who have experienced the death of a child. This book is a collection of survival stories by men who have survived the worst possible loss and lived to tell the tale. They are real stories that pull no punches and are told with brutal honesty. Men that have shared their deepest and darkest moments. Moments that included thoughts of suicide, self-medication and homelessness. Some of these men have found their way back from the brink while others are still standing there, stuck in their pain. The core message of Grieving Dads is “you’re not alone.” It is a message that desperately needs to be delivered to grieving dads who often grieve in silence due to society’s expectations. Grieving Dads: To the Brink and Back is a book that no grieving dad or anyone who cares for him should be without. As any grieving parent will tell you, there are no words to describe the hell one experiences after the death of a child. Many men have no clue how to deal with or understand the myriad emotional, mental, and physical responses experienced after the death of a child. Stories appearing in the book have been carefully selected to represent a cross-section of fathers, as well as a diverse portrayal of loss. This approach helps reflect the full spectrum of grief, from the early days of shock and trauma to the long view after living with loss for many years. Any bereaved father will find brotherhood in these pages, and will feel that someone understands them. While there is plenty of raw emotion in this book—the stories are not exercises in self-pity nor are they studies in grief. They are survival stories instead. Some are testimonies to hope. Some are gut-wrenching accounts of overwhelming despair. But all of them are real-life stories from real-life grieving dads, and they show that even if one reaches his physical and emotional bottom, it is possible (although not easy) to live through that pain and find one’s way to the other side of grief. Most dads in this book found themselves in a state of physical, mental, and emotional collapse after the death of their child. As if the losses alone weren’t enough to drive these men to the brink, most try to deal with their grief according to the conventional wisdom so many men are brought up with, which perversely, increases their suffering all the more. We all know the party line about how men are “supposed” to deal with loss or even disappointment: toughen up, get back to work, take it like a man, support your wife, don’t talk about your emotions, don’t lose control, and if you must cry—by all means do so in private.

Sometimes I Cry In The Shower: A Grieving Father's Journey To Wholeness And Healing by R. Glenn Kell
You are here because you know, somewhere inside, it is truly time to begin the journey forward. You are a man who has experienced the profound loss of someone you love dearly. Feeling despondent? Lost? It could not be more understandable. After all, you had a “Blueprint” for your future mentally and emotionally drawn out ahead of you, which included that someone you love so dearly. That was the future you had planned on…laid your dreams on! Then, suddenly, your blueprint was brutally ripped away, and you were left not only anguishing for that one you lost, but also wondering, “Where do I go from here?” As a man, do you feel that instinctive urge to keep all those emotions within grief stuffed deeply inside, where no one will think you unmanly and weak? Do you feel it is wrong to have an urge to seek out those tasks and activities which allow you to organize, systemize and put yourself in control of something after the loss? Anything? These are not wrong responses. Instead, they are natural reaction of who you are. However, they can be incredibly unhealthy and destructive if not acknowledged, understood, and addressed. Women – Do you want to understand your man? If the two of you sadly lost a child, do you think he loved that precious gift less because he does not openly cry as often as you…or seemingly not at all? Do you understand why, at times, he puts his own grief aside to care for others, or crawl off to contemplatively spend time alone? Men grieve and hurt as deeply as a woman, yet men and women are programmed through both Nature and Nurture to do so in a different manner. Did we men get our “manly” traits from our fathers during childhood, when Dad repeatedly told us, “Big boys don’t cry?” Or, were those traits genetically burned into our very DNA from the dawn of mankind, when we spent months away on the hunt, silently and stoically repressing fear as we stalked that which could easily turn the tables and have us as a meal? Why are women so much more empathetic then men, with an instinct to constantly survey the feelings of others around them? Why do they instinctively desire to gather in groups to share feelings? How can the mother tell the needs of a newborn child when that infant does not even have the ability to speak? Are these skills and traits something which must be taught, generation after generation, or is each gender, male or female, “pre-wired” to be who we are? Come inside “Sometimes I Cry In The Shower” and discover how we can begin to heal while being patient with ourselves…and each other. Only through understanding and acceptance can we begin the journey towards a life of wholeness and healing. Peace and purpose, R. Glenn Kelly “As a grieving father, R. Glenn Kelly exposes the inner thoughts of a man who has lost the most precious of gifts; his child.

The Invisible String by Patrice Karst

"That's impossible", said twins Jeremy & Liza after their Mom told them they're all connected by this thing called an Invisible String. "What kind of string"? They asked with a puzzled look to which Mom replied, "An Invisible String made of love." That's where the story begins. A story that teaches of the tie that really binds.

Here is a warm and delightful lesson teaching young and old that we aren't ever really alone and reminding children (and adults!) that when we are loved beyond anything we can imagine. "People who love each other are always connected by a very special String, made of love. Even though you can't see it with your eyes, you can feel it deep in your heart, and know that you are always connected to the ones you love." Thus begins this heart-warming and reassuring story that addresses the issue of "separation anxiety" (otherwise known as the sense of existential 'aloneness') to children of all ages. Specifically written to address children's fear of being apart from the ones they love, The Invisible String delivers a particularly compelling message in today's uncertain times that though we may be separated from the ones we care for, whether through anger, or distance or even death, love is the unending connection that binds us all, and, by extension, ultimately binds every person on the planet to everyone else.

Specifically written to address children's fear of being apart from the ones they love, The Invisible String delivers a particularly compelling message in today's uncertain times that though we may be separated from the ones we care for, whether through anger, or distance or even death, love is the unending connection that binds us all, and, by extension, ultimately binds every person on the planet to everyone else. Parents and children everywhere who are looking for reassurance and reaffirmation of the transcendent power of love, to bind, connect and comfort us through those inevitable times when life challenges us!

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch

So begins the story that has touched the hearts of millions worldwide. Since publication in l986, Love You Forever has sold more than 15 million copies in paperback and the regular hardcover edition. “I made that up after my wife and I had two babies born dead. The song was my song to my dead babies. For a long time I had it in my head and I couldn’t even sing it because every time I tried to sing it I cried. It was very strange having a song in my head that I couldn’t sing. For a long time it was just a song but one day, while telling stories at a big theatre at the University of Guelph, it occurred to me that I might be able to make a story around the song. Out popped Love You Forever, pretty much the way it is in the book.”
