From people who came through it

  • โ€œHey, I know it's early and everything feels upside down. That's normal. I've been through the earthquake and the flood. The first few weeks are the hardest, but you'll find your footing. Accept help when it's offered. Take it slow, day by day. And if you need to talk, I'm here. You're not on your own.โ€

  • โ€œAbout three years ago, that was me. Wildfire smoke and evacuating. That was my life. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: I was in the same place eighteen months ago. A typhoon and the roof, every single day. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart. From someone who gets it.โ€

  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: I was in the same place eighteen months ago. It was living with my in laws and I couldn't see past it. I got a new job in April. You get yourself back in pieces.โ€
