Juli and Chris Henderson have lived through one of the toughest times any parent can face, the loss of their son. In this interview, we have a very candid discussion about what they wish they'd known. The catalyst for this discussion was Juli's blog post "How will I know?".

Dr. Chris Henderson is a Critical Care Intensivist at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa (CSR) Westover Hills Hospital in San Antonio, Texas, and serves as a Member of the South Texas Regional Advisory Council Pandemic Medical Operations Workgroup. He is Board Certified in Critical Care, Pulmonary Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Sleep Medicine. He presently serves as President of Medical Staff at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospitals, President of CSR Family Health Center, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Family Health Center. Additionally, Chris is the Director of Inpatient Services for the program and Chairman of its Clinical Competency Committee and serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor for the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) Department of Family and Community Medicine. He entered his present position after more than 26 years of service in the United States Air Force Medical Corps, retiring in July 2011 with the rank of Colonel.

Juli Henderson is a highly trained vocalist, respected voice teacher and owner of ⁠JH Voice Studio⁠, physician’s wife, mother of five adult children, and newly minted grandmother. She grew up moving frequently as a military dependent but has called San Antonio, Texas home for 36 years. The ⁠In Our Arms Blog⁠ is her passion project, launching in February 2021 to share the story of Robert. As the mother of a child with disabilities who passed at the tender age of eighteen, Juli’s writings give hope to hundreds of readers, including a private Facebook group where members share resources and support. She is extending her impact by her involvement in resource projects such as her recent launch of the In Our Arms “⁠Breathe” candle⁠ in collaboration with a purpose-driven brand, ⁠School Scents⁠. When not writing or teaching, Juli volunteers in the community on nonprofit boards and speaks in churches and schools about her “Life unexpected".
