71: Amber Smith on Life After Loss & Swim Safety Meaning Full Living

    • Parenting

Amber Smith is wife to country music star, Granger Smith, and mom to 4 kids. Today’s conversation is a really, really heavy one…and may be triggering for anyone who has experienced miscarriages, stillbirth, infant loss or loss on any level. In 2019 Amber and her husband experienced the unthinkable when they lost their son River at the age 3 in a drowning accident. In today’s episode, Amber talks through how they have walked through their grief, how they’ve found meaning in tragedy, and how she’s bringing awareness to swim safety and ISR (infant safety rescue) so no parent has to go through what they went through. We recorded this episode the day after the Uvalde shooting so emotions were raw. Grab your tissue and open your heart because today’s episode is a difficult one but a special one.
