I wake up every morning more aware of my new reality. I guess that I will need to accept the situation before I can move away from it. I'm just not sure how to accept that we have lost the home we worked so hard to build.
I should be up and getting ready to run 26.2. Instead I'm folding an air mattress in a friend basement and making insurance calls.
Thank God for amazing friends and family. Even people that I have never met have donated generously to help my family move on. I can never repay them or thank them enough. But I also cannot give up. They are now invested in my family. So I guess it's time to figure it out.
Xoxox to all. Please keep the prayers coming.
my heart is breaking for you... you will push past the grief and agony, i promise. pursue your policy limits like a dog after a bone. you should have cash in hand w/n 30 days. it helped me, when we lost it all in Katrina, to focus on soon to be rebuilt bigger nicer better house. try to envision how you want to rebuild your space, busy yourself with drawings and sketches. no matter how tempting, only hire locals, someone you can call back in a year or two to fix something that isn't quite right. stay in touch! happy to lifecoach you thru this @CarolNChalmette
ReplyDeleteI've been watching the horror unfold on the TV here in the UK. My heart goes out to you and everyone else who has lost loved ones and their possessions and homes. I ran the marathon last year and the city will always hold a special place in my heart. I think they made the best call to cancel it, but they should have done it sooner. I feel sorry for all the people who travelled so far to run it. X
ReplyDeleteDefinitely keeping you and your family in my prayers. Stay strong girl.
