About this listen

In August 2012, a baby girl was born without a right or left hemisphere of her brain. Doctors said she was essentially in a vegetative state, unable to see or hear - that there was no hope for her. Relinquished to the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin by her birth parents under the state's Safe Haven Law, this two-week-old unnamed baby girl found her way to Cori and Mark Salchert's home. Despite the infant's grim medical diagnosis, Cori knew she couldn't allow this beautiful baby girl to spend her few days on Earth alone and unloved. Cori took the baby girl home and named her Emmalynn.

I Will Love You Forever reveals one woman's decades-long quest to find healing and redemption after the accidental death of her sister as a child. Since 2012, God has used hospice babies - those left to live and die without family to care for them - to mend Cori's broken heart. Bringing these fragile hospice babies into their home, Cori and her family have promised not only to hold them briefly, until their last breath on this side of heaven, but to love them forever and always. The loving actions of Cori and her family show that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength.

Cori's poignant story will strengthen your faith and touch your heart.

Couldn't finish

My own fault, I didn't read the genre headings properly, did not realize it was full on religious. Would've liked to hear more of the caring and clinical sides of this journey, not the religious stuff that flies in the face of science.

Not faith building.

I only got to chapter 5.

This book is quite depressing. No encouraging miracles and breakthroughs but what you would see in any normal persons life.

A Must Read

This book is incredibly inspiring, the story of fostering terminally ill children as whilst dealing with complex chronic medical illnesses and running a family is one everyone should read. The insight it gives to both is something that people need to hear about. Thank you for writing this. God bless you and your family x

Very religion focused

I was disappointed and did struggle to finish this title due to it being so heavily religious, a lot of the book is about the authors own health issues. I thought it would be more about the journey and experiences with terminally I'll babies.
