Life After Loss

Often, we do not know to what extent we can rise above life’s challenges. Life after loss is worthy of examination; because it is there that we discover our capacity to survive. It is there that we discover resilience.

On the surface, it is a quick trip to Target in Sioux City, Iowa on March 5th 2022, but for Lisha Edelen, a mother of two young children who unexpectedly lost her husband just over three months ago, it is vital family time. The challenge is daunting, but the two young lives that depend upon her have helped her summon incredible levels of resilience in the wake of this devastating tragedy.

Nebraska’s Great Crane Migration Exemplifies Mother Earth’s Bounty

The Sandhill Crane migration through West-Central Nebraska’s Platte River basin is a natural phenomenon that has spanned tens of millions of years. The migratory route established by these birds through the wetlands of the Great Plains have fostered an important connection between the species, the land and the waterways. The Sandhill Crane has thrived for millenia in part, due to the bounty of the land and waters of the great Nebraska prairie.

Flying high above crops grown in rural western Nebraska, are the Sandhill Cranes. One of the oldest known species of migrating birds known to man. Evidence dating back nearly ten million years indicates that these creatures have been migrating from as far away as Florida and New Mexico in Southern North America to the tundra of Siberia in Eastern Asia, for mega-annums.
