Hurricanes

I recently attended an Elder Law conference in Galveston,
Texas. My son and I have gone to the conference
for a number of years. Several years ago
Galveston was hit by a major hurricane destroying or damaging many of the
islands buildings. One hotel, that was
built on a pier over the water, was completely destroyed and set there damaged
for several years. Two years ago we
noticed that the hotel was being torn down and last year the pier was being
rebuilt. This year the new pier was
filled with amusement rides. They had transformed
the destruction into a Pleasure Pier, reminiscent of the boardwalk of the
past. The brightly lit roller-coaster
and Ferris wheel can be seen for miles.
That is what widows have to do. Out of the hurricane of destruction that
follows the death of a spouse, we must build a new life. For widows that can mean starting a new job,
going back to school, working as a volunteer, or simply finding your passion
and acting on it.
Just remember that out of the hurricanes of life each of us
can build our own Pleasure Pier (read future here) complete with dazzling light
and a joyful new start.
