Trauma is really hard on a family. It’s hard to accept help. My husband and I were able-bodied people, we did everything ourselves and suddenly, we’re put in a position when we need donations for clothes, diapers, every basic essential you could possibly need. But that’s the time that you need to let go and receive the help for the benefit of your children and for you. The actual trauma is like an earthquake and the residual effects are like aftershocks and you can’t push pause – life doesn’t work like that – for you to heal and mourn and move on. Life keeps going and you still have to raise your children and help them heal. And thank goodness children are resilient, because they keep you going and they’re the best medicine. And they are helping me heal every day as I am helping them.
