WARNING-WATCHING THIS MAY BE TOO INTENSE FOR THOSE WHO SURVIVED AND/OR LOST LOVED ONES IN THE SEACOR POWER DISASTER ON APRIL 13, 2021.

Each anniversary I've thought about sharing this intense video made by shrimpers during the storm that capsized the Seacor Power and delayed rescue efforts, but was concerned it would cause too much pain so didn't. After 5 years now, I decided it is a good reminder of the extreme storm that managed to catch everyone who was off the coast of Louisiana that afternoon by surprise. The NTSB even uses this day and the loss of life from the Seacor Power as one of several justifications for their recommendation that the U.S. Coast Guard make PLBs mandatory.
If the chain of events that caused this intense storm to catch so many seasoned seafarers off guard that day, I'm thinking it could happen again. Please don't go out to sea without a PLB on your body! Stay safe out there. ~ Debbie, Jason's Aunt and Jason's Beacon President

Jason's Beacon Nonprofit with a mission to save lives by promoting the use of and providing PLBs -personal locator beacons to U.S. offshore workers, regardless of which industry they work in, and promote the life saving benefits of learning to swim.

In addition to saving lives by promoting the use of PLBs and taking donations to then buy PLBs for qualified U.S. offshore workers, our mission includes sharing the latest evidence based grief recovery with families of deceased and missing loved ones. That's why we have an Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist on our Advisory Board, Rhonda Frachiseur. Rhonda and her knowledge of the Grief Recovery Method helped us immensely, in the aftermath of the Seacor Power disaster, to see through so many myths and falsehoods out in society about grief and the process of grief and she continues to give us a level set on whatever we're still going through. It just so happens that Rhonda has suffered the tragic death of one of her sons and has also experienced a family member who went missing in the Gulf as well. Take time to read her latest blog posts, share it, and know that that there is hope for healing and you are not alone.

When the Waves Take Them: Grieving Without a Resting Place Grief is never easy, but there are some losses that carry an additional weight — a kind of ache that lingers in places even words can’t reach. One of those is losing someone to a natural disaster, such as flooding, or a...
