A True Story about Life, Love, and Healing through Heartbreak As Seen on Kathie Lee & Hoda & TODAY Parenting! 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 under the state’s Safe Haven Law, this two-week-old unnamed baby girl found her way … 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. 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 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. . . It will touch your heart.
Bonus! Features full-color photos of Cori and her family.

I so appreciated this honest, gritty story of someone living out her faith caring for hospice babies. Will inspire you to look at your own life to find something for you to do to make a difference for good in this world.
This book was not what I expected. I thought there would be stories of several children/babies who had been cared for until their passing. I loved the beginning, but the rest of the book was not very good. I do applaud the author for their compassion,
The true story of a very special lady who, through her own disabilities, must seek a different type occupation and cares for dying newborns. A sad but uplifting story and it is well told.
Learned a lot and was inspired!!!
The main character of this book is amazing. She and family do what most is don’t have the courage to do!!!
Great book and with it being a true story. It was breathtaking with strong people and tells of the struggles and strength these people have.
This book will make you think and grow! A great read.
Remarkable story about real people.
Good book but sooooo sad!
I got bored with it in the middle after emmalynn died and decided the book was going to be depressing so I deleted
This family made lives for fostered dying babies until God took them home. Not many people could do what they accomplished. Amazing book.
This book is written with love. Well worth reading.
This is a true story of a woman and her family who take in handicapped babies who are dying and love them to the short length of their lives. She is in the medical field but has suffered depression much of her life.
The little ones The Lord sends them help her go through digestive issues, pain, and her other problems, and in return, become part of a real family that truly love and accept them as God’s children.
It’s not an easy read, but extremely worth while. You might want a box of tissues near by.
I’m keeping this in my permanent library. Plan to reread it often.
Very eye opening to the needs of many innocent children.
Wonderful to have people like this in the world! Inspiration to us all
Great book have recommended to others.
What an inspirational family! True love of others!
Heartwarming
Fantastic
