Having lived through two major disasters in the Bay Area - the Loma Prieta earthquake in which I was left homeless, and the 1991 Firestorm in which we were displaced and nearly left homeless - I can say this for certain: life repairs itself. Healing happens. The dawn follows the darkness. And while it might seem like it takes forever, the day comes when only the actual anniversary is when you remember. Know this my friends back east. And may the force be in your favor. Namaste.
