Turning Grief into Purpose: Linda Henderson’s Journey of Love and Hope (103)

In this heartfelt episode of Little Give, Cindy Witteman welcomes Linda Henderson, a retired nurse who turned her personal tragedy into a mission of hope and healing. After the devastating loss of her 27-year-old pregnant daughter, Linda found solace in writing. Nine years into her grief journey, she published The Road of Love and Hope, a memoir that not only helped her heal but also inspired her to support others facing loss and adversity.

Linda shares how writing became a therapeutic tool, guiding her toward a new purpose—offering comfort, encouragement, and empowerment to those struggling with grief, PTSD, and mental health challenges. She also talks about a special children’s book, Spooky Meets a Friend, written by her late daughter as a high school project, which Linda published in her honor.

Throughout the conversation, Linda and Cindy discuss the power of choosing healing over despair and how even small acts of kindness can make a lasting impact. Linda’s journey is a testament to the strength of love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the importance of finding meaning in the face of loss.

Tune in to hear Linda’s inspiring story and learn how she continues to honor her daughter’s legacy while helping others navigate their own grief journeys.
