"It has been a difficult time for my family of late on a personal level so that was for them really," Henderson said after scoring the first goal in the 2-2 draw with West Brom on Sunday.
"It is nice to be playing, being on the pitch and contributing to the team.
"It was disappointing it wasn't a win but I thought the performance was good at times.
"We started really well but we should be finishing games off and that is what we have to improve on.
"But we kept going and managed to get an equaliser late on and I thought we were going to get a winner but we couldn't get the ball over the line.
"I think that is a real positive we can take out of the day. Even though we went 2-1 down we kept going to the end and that is what you have to do in football.
"We scored one and were unlucky not to score another one and that could have changed the game in five minutes. You have to keep going right till the end."
