Grieving the Unthinkable: A Mother’s Story of Love, Loss, and Hope with Linda Henderson

In this powerful episode of The Empowered Grief Journey, I speak with Linda Henderson — retired nurse, bereaved mother, and author of The Road of Love and Hope — as she shares the heartbreaking story of losing her 27-year-old pregnant daughter, Andrea, in a car accident caused by a distracted driver. Linda opens up about the trauma and emotional aftermath that followed, including the long, non-linear path through PTSD, anger, and the search for meaning. Through writing and advocacy, she transformed her pain into a mission to support other grieving parents navigating unimaginable loss. Together, we explore the healing power of storytelling, love’s enduring presence through grief, and how hope can re-emerge even after the unthinkable.
