Money

I was watching a discussion on YT about  financial advice and investing money.

The financial advisor was saying how every clients situation was so different and gave a number of examples of   situations where planning was made to suit the clients requirements.

Not surprising but it made me think of the situations of  residents following Gabrielle and as stories arose it was something I pondered while passing through the clouds of repair.

Talking to the church helpers and others who passed through , enabled me to build a picture of a diverse range of  life situations that were frozen in time while those affected took stock and proceeded to unpack and repack their upended lives.

It really was fascinating hearing the tales of  so many who were confronting problems with councils, insurance , banks, lost records, lost memories at the same time as having to deal with the stress of the disaster.

There were longtime residents, new arrivals, renters, old young, retirees, tradies, corporates, absent landowners and the list goes on.

The question was how can you solve every ones problems stemming from one destructive event.

Immediately  following the flood  there was a combined effort. Every one was in the same state of shock and banded together as one. It was a time of discovery and strength as we fought back from the abyss.

Ahead lay the mess and the way back to reality through masses of challenges and brick walls.

Yes every one had different circumstances but all circumstances were a challenge in our lives that we didn't need.
