Ep. 21 Gold Star Widow & Mental Health Champion-Mindi's American Story

Mindi Holmgren did not expect to be a widow at the young age of 33.  She did not expect to have three small children and one on the way without the presence of her beloved husband, Corey.  This was Mindi's reality.

Corey Holmgren passed away in front of his children and wife on what should have been a fun family afternoon.  Corey died from an enlarged heart.

"He (Corey) didn't die for his country, but he did live for his country."  Mindi Holmgren

Corey was a military chaplain.  He was excited about serving his fellow brothers in arms and their families.  Corey was passionate about mental health and helping others achieve mental wellness.

To honor his memory, Mindi set up the The Corey Holmgren Memorial Fund.

Mindi and the organization funds therapy scholarships and other causes that were dear to Corey's heart.

Mindi is a sweet, courageous soul.  This story was difficult for Mindi to share, but she bravely stepped forward so others can benefit from her experience.
