in the Valley fire.
We lost our home to a fire--not wildfire and not along with neighbors and friends--and everything in it.
Yes, your brain tells you that it's just stuff and it IS fortunate that everyone got out, but a lot of times
that 'stuff' represents irreplaceable memories in photos, keepsakes, and family treasures, often from
several generations. Losing that 'stuff' is heartbreaking. Just heartbreaking.
And then there is the nightmare of dealing with insurance companies, mortgage companies, buying clothes
for everyone, finding a place to live and furnishing it...so you can go forward with life. Just trying to do your taxes six months from now, when you have no financial records from the last year, can be a real pain.
My heart goes out to you as you try to help your family and friends deal with their losses, all at the same time you
are dealing with the loss of your mom.
Sending hugs...
