Two
weeks before Christmas in 1994, her husband Dick went out to a local high
school gym to play basketball with his favorite team. That night while playing
he died from heart failure.
For months
Heidi felt as though she was floating in dark, murky water gasping for air and
trying to stay afloat. But it was also at this point in her life when she began
to learn how to hang on to God with every breath.
Heidi was
blissfully married to her second husband, Jack, who had lost his wife to
cancer.
On November
15th, 2016, Jack went into the kitchen for a cup of coffee, he dropped to the
floor and died of a heart attack. Jack was the love of Heidi’s life. The valley
of the shadow of death was a time of deep grief for Heidi and her family, but
our God is a God of hope and healing of broken hearts.
Heidi has
experienced much tragedy but has also learned how to recapture her
JOY. She would love to show you how you can too. Here is her inspiring
interview:
A cup of fresh joy!? Wouldn't it be great if we could buy a cup of joy and sip on it all day? In our daily pursuit of joy through people, adventures, and success, we often come up empty and gasping for air. Always needing more.
After the crushing loss of both her first and her second beloved husbands, author Heidi McLaughlin desperately needed joy that was sustainable and fresh. She was startled to discover that she could have it because pain and joy can co-exist.
In spite of disappointments, pain, and losses, joy is available at all times because joy is an endless resource of heaven through our connection with God.
Finding hope in the midst of loss, hardships, and suffering. The 12 chapters in Heidi's book give the reader insight into how to embrace and unleash their joy in the midst of pain.
