How should you feel a year after the fires?
Posted on October 13, 2018 by Sonoma Valley Sun
Just how should we feel a year after the fires? The news and images of the anniversary have been nearly inescapable. How best to deal with the very real effects of recalling and revisiting that traumatic experience?
Some gather in groups, informally or at commemoration ceremonies. For others, its an intensely personal and private moment. There is no one way to deal with what the nonprofit California HOPE calls “anniversary reactions.”
Recognizing that everyone experiences grief and loss individually, the organization continues to offer free, confidential individual and group counseling services for all Sonoma County residents.
