1KHO 708: When You Want Your Life the Way It Was | Amber Emily Smith, The Girl on the Bathroom Floor
In this tender, unflinching conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with author Amber Emily Smith to talk about the kind of loss that splits life into “before” and “after”—and the slow, sacred work of learning to live in the “after.” Amber shares the astonishing love story that began on a music video set with her husband, Granger Smith, and the devastating day their little boy River drowned—followed by the spiraling “what ifs,” the pressure of public opinion, and the choice to keep getting out of bed when everything in you wants to disappear. You’ll also hear the practical, hope-filled layers that carried their family: faith that meets you on the bathroom floor, grief support and play therapy, honest talk about fathers and hidden despair, and the water-safety lessons they wish they’d known. It’s a story about heartbreak—but also about purpose, organ donation, and unexpected friendships. Listen, share with a friend who’s hurting, and find Amber’s book and work here: The Girl on the Bathroom Floor • Arise with Amber
