About Me

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Wendy Hamm

I am the widow of Bob. After my husband died, I was hit with immense and overwhelming grief. Wailing tears of agony when I woke up every morning, all throughout the day,  and when I went to bed every night had become my darkest reality. Always a person filled with laughter and joy, I could not even seem to process the excruciating pain that filled every single cell in my entire body. Normal and simple everyday tasks now seemed so very overwhelming. Bob and I had just happily celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary! This was NOT how things were supposed to be!! How was I going to live without him? Who even was I without him? We were "Wendy& Bob" longer than I had been just "Wendy". I had NO idea how I was going to survive without my husband, much less live again. By the very grace of God and a resolve to keep going, I have now lived three years as Bob's widow. How did I do it?  In the beginning, it seemed there were a million decisions to be made and each one so daunting...all while I was literally trying to figure out my next breath, the rest of the world just kept right on spinning.

Now...

Now, 3 years later I AM who I needed when I first became a widow. Specifically, I am a coach. I use my own personal struggles and successes to coach widows back to living again. I navigated life for myself and my daughters back to a healthy life while moving forward with the grief we carried. I’ll coach you as you build your life back a little every day...moment by moment... until one day you'll notice a bit more healing than you had the day before. You'll notice a few less tears than you once cried and slowly but surely, you will live again. Hope and life will be restored.  

"But I am like a green olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever. For what you have done I will always praise you in the presence of your faithful people. And I will hope in your name, for your name is good." Psalms 52:8-9 NIV
