In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Linda Henderson—a retired nurse, author, and grieving mother—who vulnerably shares her journey through the devastating loss of her daughter, Andrea.

We explore:

  • Linda’s experience with prolonged and complicated grief
  • The emotional and physical toll of losing a child
  • How she found her way forward using her AAA method: Acknowledgement, Action, and Appreciation
  • The power of small, intentional steps in grief healing
  • How Linda leaned on support systems and grief tools that made a meaningful difference

Linda also shares the story behind her heartfelt memoir, "The Road of Love & Hope: The Journey of Child Loss", a book born from heartbreak and written to help other bereaved parents and grieving families feel less alone.

If you're coping with the loss of a child, navigating the depths of grief, or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers profound wisdom, validation, and a gentle reminder that healing—while never linear—is possible.
