About Heather Broadhurst
Hello! I’m Heather Broadhurst, and I am just a common sojourner on a road we will all travel at some point in life…the dark road of grief. Ever since my husband changed his home address to Heaven, I have been bombarded with the truth that our society does not deal with grief well (or at all!). I want to share my journey on this road in the hopes that I can help others along the way. We are all in this together. Jesus is my Lord, my husband lives in Heaven, my kids and grandkids are my sunshine, and my friends continually stand in the gap for me.
My Reason Why
Until 2024, my husband and I were rocking along, enjoying a very fulfilling and busy life. He was a very successful high school basketball coach, and I was an elementary PE teacher. Sharing 4 kids and 4.5 grandkids, our life together was wonderful. On January 31 of that year, a diagnosis of the deadliest brain tumor known to man sent our lives careening on a path of all things cancer. For the next nine months, my family and I were on desperation highway, trying to do anything and everything to save my sweet husband’s life. He died on October 28, 2024 after a valiant battle with glioblastoma. Then began my journey down the darkest and loneliest road I have ever walked. In the months since Les went to be with our Lord, I have found our society on an overcrowded struggle bus when it comes to dealing with grief and those that are bereaved. I pray that others will find a bit of comfort and a sense of belonging as we navigate a world without our loved ones. I pray that God will use this blog to be a transparent source of hope and help to others dealing with loss, and that we can all hold on to the fact that we are one day closer to seeing them again.
