Very true. People who came to visit me after a few months were shocked - the area still looked like a war zone. It really doesn't sink in for days, you're like a zombie, wondering what to do, where to start.
Yep! Took me a few years to mentally deal tbh. I did get mental health care for 4 years after Katrina. Lost a lot. My prayers that you have gotten to a better place also. 🙏
Much better place, thank you! House has been rebuilt. Someone on this board mentioned Samaritan's Purse - remember a couple from there came by early on while I was still in shock, offering help. Skids had moved a lot of the debris to the road. Couldn't think of anything except try to organize what's left of the nuts and bolts and scattered tools on the workshop slab since that's the only area we could get to at that time. They sat and talked me through a very difficult day while the organizational abilities of my brain were totally overloaded, and it was obvious even to me I wasn't thinking clearly.
