I Can’t Imagine

De: Emilia Quinn Sears, Chris Sears

Narrado por: Chris Sears

When we come across a happy narrative, we love imagining ourselves living out that story as the main character, yet when faced with tales of human pain or suffering, we often awkwardly shy away, offer quick condolences, and say “I can’t imagine”. Human nature is to relish success, whimsy, and tales of happy endings. But by avoiding those “other” stories, the painful and uncomfortable ones, we often miss out on some of life’s most important lessons.

I Can’t Imagine is one of those “other” stories that will take listeners through a powerful journey about a micro-preemie named Emilia Quinn Sears, who was born during a pandemic, at only 22 weeks old, weighing just over one pound, with the odds of survival stacked against her.

Inspired by her parents’ personal journals, passionately written to Baby Emilia, this audiobook will take you on an epic journey of loss, love, and resilience. By the end, you will be able to imagine what it is like to fight for your child’s survival in the NICU, ultimately losing your battle and subsequently watching your world get destroyed. You will also experience the beautiful lessons and raw power of purpose that can arise from some of the worst things anyone can imagine.

Life is a journey, not a destination

I really enjoyed listening to Emilia and Chris’s story. Life is full of surprises, and what you decide to do with it is what will ultimately define you. Living a life of values is a life worth living, and I’m glad I had the chance to learn more about the Sears family’s journey. Chris, you are badass, and so is Emilia, Felicia and Luca. Thank you for encouraging us to live our values.
