Tom Ward

Following the homicide of his wife Tom was overwhelmed by shock and pummeled with anger, fear, guilt and grief. These elements overshadowed his intrinsic need for self-care. He struggled as caregiver to his family and eventually became sidelined professionally and emotionally. Over time and through commitment to a rigorous recovery regimen he replenished himself and regained his energy and emotional balance. He founded a nonprofit serving Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans and later joined Soaring Spirits International as a presenter. Tom actively participates in a nonprofit supporting families impacted by sudden, violent loss throughout the southeast.
