For Brian and Elaine Bredvik, the June 1 tornado was a paradox of loss and liberation.
I came across a random quote recently that said there are two types of pain in the world: pain that hurts, and pain that changes you. Last summer’s powerful and persistent tornado brought both to Western Massachusetts; but for Brian and Elaine Bredvik of Wilbrham, whos Echo Hill Road home was irreparably damaged, the latter is far more profound.
