Often those most opposed to the widower's new relationship are his adult children. Sometimes they will do anything to break up the relationship including engaging in manipulative and abusive behavior. What do you do if your adult children start acting this way? Relationship coach and widower expert Abel Keogh has the answer.
Summer Storm: A Poem
Summer Storm
The sky, filled with clouds and smoke,
hides the sun behind its cloak,
the smell of fire, the taste of ash,
an inch of rain falls in a flash.
Small streams swell and rivers flood,
mountains crumble into mud,
the wind roars, great oaks bend,
thunder rumbles, the earth rends.
Suddenly the storm subsides,
we open doors and look outside,
at a world wet and ashen gray,
then send our children out to play.
