Sometimes the water is calm and sometimes it is overwhelming

My heart and prayers go out to all the fire victims.  I lost my home in a fire storm in 1992 and I know first hand that fire creates its own path, its own weather, its own voice and it leaves devastation and grief in its wake.  

Fire does not discriminate; it doesn’t care if you are rich or poor, young or old. Losing a home, cherished memories, or even loved ones to a fire brings a profound and unpredictable grief.

The aftermath can feel like an endless tide of emotions—shock, sorrow, anger and even moments of hope as rebuilding begins. Just like the ocean’s waves, some days might bring calm reflection, while others feel like an insurmountable surge of loss. Learning to swim finding strength in community, accepting help, and taking steps—no matter how small—toward healing and recovery.

Beautifully said. You know exactly how these people feel going through this devastating fire. We are all hoping they can rebuild their lives and overcome this massive destruction.  California will never be the same. Thank you Rain Silverhawk

Hello Rain - disasters, natural and otherwise, can and do happen everywhere.  In the darkest moments, there are signs of light.  The rebuilding process will be long. The memories, longer in some cases, and much too short in others.

Good morning Rain. Grief is like th wind, it comes and goes. Man cannot control the winds, only the fuel that offers the winds the ability to spread the grief. So sad!
