HELPFUL REMINDERS FROM CRISIS CLEANUP
21
Be patient: The road to recovery will take longer than you think, and longer than it should. You will need to fill out dozens of nearly identical forms for dozens of agencies and insurance companies. Most of the time, it will seem as though your work is to no avail. Be as patient as you can. The disaster has left a permanent impression in your life and the life of your family. Seek a new normal, even as you let go of some cherished aspects of your former life and lifestyle.
22
Be persistent: Though exhausting, you must be your own advocate. Surround yourself with a good support system in your church or community. Your best bets are to reach out to friends, family, neighbors, and local faith communities who may be able to organize cleanup efforts. You may also dial 2-1-1 to see if there are any local resources.
23
Never give up hope: Remember that you are a normal person reacting to an abnormal event. Seek the counsel and advice of trusted friends, family, counselors, case managers, faith leaders, and even attorneys. They can guide you through the baffling maze of spiritual, emotional, physical, and legal pitfalls that await. Celebrate your spiritual, emotional and family victories—large and small—when they come.
