Paula Dauber Wisful Widow

Hey there, I’m Paula

I've walked this road. I'll walk it with you.

I’m Paula Dauber, founder of The Wistful Widow and a Certified Biblical Trauma Coach. In June 2021, I lost my husband Duncan suddenly — and the grief brought me to the floor. Out of that pain came a calling: to help other newly widowed women find clarity, comfort, and a renewed sense of purpose. I’m dedicated to walking with you through the challenges of early grief, and reminding you that healing and purpose are still possible.
