Linda Henderson

My name is Linda Henderson, and I am a retired nurse, an author, and a bereaved mother. On Dec. 20, 2011, a horrific car accident claimed the life of my 27-year-old pregnant daughter, leaving behind her 2-year-old son. The driver who caused the crash walked away a free man due to prosecution error, compounding my devastation. Her sudden and tragic death left my world shattered, and I lived with grief for many years. Dealing with PTSD, depression, anxiety, fears, anger, and much more for nearly a decade gave me the determination to turn my pain into purpose. I wrote and published my book, "The Road of Love & Hope, " about child loss and grief. My new mission was to reach people in the grieving community to provide inspiration, hope, and empowerment. Determined to increase my knowledge about grief, I received certificates in Professional Grief & Bereavement, Coping with Child Loss, and Grief And Bereavement Counselling. I am a member of " The Bereavement Ontario Network. I have guested on many podcasts to share my story of hope and provide education about grief. Writing has become therapy for me, and I have written several articles on various online platforms and am currently working on my next book. I aim to be a beacon of hope for those navigating the grief journey. I am honored when I receive positive feedback, such as a woman who highlights portions of my book for her daily journey. My new motto is: "Embrace the Moments, Cherish the memories, and hope for tomorrow." "Grief is forever because love is forever, but life has to be lived, even amidst the pain. There is hope, even in the darkness".
