Wendy C. Moore, award-winning writer, author and speaker, is available to speak at lectures, conferences and workshops. Her book, The Invisible People: Silent Neglect Taking Place in Homes Across America.
Hurt People Hurt Others
“Unfortunately,” Wendy states, “people who are hurting direct their pain at others. Often, they target those closest to them, pushing them away when they need them most.
“Helping others has always been an important part of my healing process and it may also work for others in their quest for recovery,” she admits.
“I love talking to other veterans and mentoring children. Our children are often stressed and anxious and they act out because they are experiencing some sort of mental, emotional or physical pain.
“It’s the same for adults, it’s just harder to see.
“My mission is to help heal the invisible scars of the invisible people,” Wendy states. “Every human being needs to be seen, heard, and loved at their core for who they are.”
You’re Not Alone
“Yes, there are people who look like they have it all, but nobody does,” Wendy states.
“Most of us are dealing with current challenges that stem from unresolved issues from our past. Carrying around that kind of baggage, without knowing what to do with it, can make it hard for people to visualize the future of their dreams. They fall into a depression and begin to lose hope.
“I believe people need to give themselves a break and be open to recognizing their pain. At times, we all suffer from past ills, loneliness, fear and stress. Some of us just have healthier coping mechanisms.”

This led to contrasting life decisions and more pain because I was inconsistent with myself mentally and emotionally and it was having a negative effect in my life.
“I sought professional therapy and it made all the difference,” she adds. “I also place a high value on my spiritual development. At the age of 19, I had a deep desire to serve my country as a U.S. Marine. I’m very proud of my accomplishments, yet my service to others is far from finished.
“That’s why I wrote this book – to help others by telling a story that’s important to me while offering solutions
