Hi, I’m Tamara “Coach Tam” Vanderpool.
As a wife, mom, retired veteran, and certified Life & Health Coach with a Master’s in Mental Health and Wellness, I know the weight of life’s hardest transitions. That’s why I created The Mourning Café—a safe space to heal, grow, and rediscover yourself.
Here, we walk together through grief and change with compassion and proven strategies, helping you honor your journey and embrace your “New You, 2.0.”

With guidance rooted in life and health coaching, wellness practices, and heartfelt support, we walk beside you as you navigate grief, life transitions, and personal growth.

New Year, New You! Coming soon for 2026!!!!
The best version of YOU!
✨ The L.I.V.E. Framework
At The Mourning Café, we guide you through grief and life transitions with our signature L.I.V.E. Framework—a path toward healing, growth, and renewal.
L – Let Yourself Feel
Give yourself permission to experience every emotion. Healing begins when you honor your feelings instead of hiding them.
I – Identify Support
You don’t have to do this alone. Together, we help you lean on trusted people, groups, and resources that strengthen your journey.
V – Value Your Journey
Grief isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your path is unique, and healing takes time. We encourage compassion for yourself every step of the way.
E – Embrace New Beginnings
With support, you can create space for meaning, growth, and even joy again—honoring the past while opening your heart to the future.
“Guiding you through grief and life’s transitions with compassion and hope.”
Like trees shedding old leaves, spring invites us to let go of what no longer serves us. Grief may change us, but it doesn’t stop us from blooming.
This week, reflect on what you're ready to release—and allow space for something new to grow.
