Michael Petruccelli says; Keep in mind - family is always the most important thing, always! Try to keep the routine & schedule you had before the storm. It helps give everyone a sense of normalcy. Always think before you speak about the damage or heart ship you are experiencing when with in a ears reach of the children. You don't want them to be any more traumatized by this event that what has already transpired. Play, laugh and have fun with what you have. Play tag to burn off some of that pent up anxiety & energy. Help others in the neighborhood, to help create a sense of community. This way they see that what has happened has happened to everybody, not just them. Always reassure them you are there for them.
