Marcia Biggs:
I mean, that part is really hard and I think that that’s what everybody is dealing with. And that’s, I think, what’s so heartbreaking is, what we loved about this area is the community.
And it’s really hard to imagine going home to a graveyard. I mean, it’s not a graveyard in the sense that people died, thank God, but it’s charred remains of a life. It’s also — this scope, I think, is hard for people to understand.
Like, everything that we know, everything that we do in our daily lives is now gone. The grocery store, the pharmacy, the dry cleaner’s, the coffee shop, the place we go for brunch on Sundays, the farmers market, all my friends’ kids schools, the Palisades Rec Center where they would do sports, it’s all gone.
So what I’m sort of struggling with, I mean, it’s easier for me because I’m a single person, but what my friends are struggling with, with kids and families is, what do we kind of rally around? What’s that one singular thing that all these families can cling to? And it’s a difficult struggle, because there’s really nothing left.
