In this episode, we hear some of the last recorded moments of Heather Thompson. We recorded this episode on Sunday, September 3rd, 2023, and she tragically passed away on Thursday, September 7th, 2023 - 4 days later. Heather and her husband, Joe Thompson, are residents of Coffeen, Illinois, a small village in Central Illinois with an approximate population of 700. When asked if Joe would like me to publish the episode or give it to them to be shared with family, he said Heather would have wanted us to publish the episode for others to hear.
In this interview, happy and excited to share about her life, experiences, children, parents, and husband, Heather shares about becoming a mother at 17, what is was like being a bartender, and how she was a high school achiever. But drugs came into the picture as an adult and everything changed.
Heather takes us on an emotional roller-coaster as she opens up about her multiple arrests, relapses, and the life-altering moment she was denied communion in church. These hardships, although traumatic, served as inspiration, pushing her to turn her life around. She shared with jubilation about planting her roots of recovery in Montgomery County and that she loves her job and her life.
Her heartfelt story underscores the importance of cherishing our time with loved ones, reminding us all of the fragility of life and the crucial role of love and support in our lives. Join us on this intense journey of Heather's life, from addiction, recovery, to redemption.
It was difficult to listen to this full interview and edit the little that I did. To hear her laugh and discuss how much she loved to help people and how much she adored her children and husband was extremely tough knowing she is no longer with us. In her honor, we will always miss her. And remember, her name is Heather Thompson.
