From people who came through it

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Telling one person the full tuth helped me more than anything. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.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€œFor anyone new to this: I was right where you are two years ago. The flood took the ground floor, and I couldn't see past it. I picked up the guitar again. xโ€

  • โ€œA year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. It was the earthquake and the aftershocks and I couldn't see past it. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. You get yourself back in pieces. You're not on your own.โ€
