Light on the Horizon: Finding Hope Again After the Death of a Spouse

Thompson, Leslie J.: - Leslie J. Thompson spent the first three decades of her professional career writing for businesses large and small, both in the corporate world and as a freelance consultant. Through the years, she also has contributed to numerous regional and national publications and in 1999 launched an award-winning lifestyle magazine, marking her foray into entrepreneurship. Leslie later worked side by side with her husband, Craig Thompson, to start several companies related to media and technology, including a web design agency and an aerial videography business. After the death of her husband in 2018, Leslie shifted her focus from the secular world to speaking and writing about matters of faith. Her journey through the wilderness of widowhood and her active involvement in ministry solidified her calling to comfort others who have experienced tragedy or loss. She now uses her communication skills and passion for people to deliver a message of hope centered on the truth of God's unwavering goodness. Leslie has joined several mission trips to Latin America and for many years was involved in weekly prison ministry alongside her late husband. She is the founder of Living Bridge of Hope and lives in a cozy suburb north of Dallas, Texas.
