Risa’s family and many others lost their homes during the 1991 Oakland Hills fire in California. She had to start with nothing and was pushed into action. Risa had to rebuild a home for her 3 young children. She found glimmers of light to try to establish a sense of a normal life. Her neighborhood and community pulled together for those families. Risa shares the following nuggets of life wisdom for those that have lost their homes:
– we have the ability to rebuild
– we discover we have the strength, we didn’t know we had, when facing life altering experiences
– practice self care
– be patient with yourself, as recovery takes time
