Support the debris removal process\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Offer support in the coming months on the days the debris removal crew comes to clear the lot.

Before beginning the process, workers gently asked the family if there were any small items they should first search for before beginning clearing process.

If relevant, prior to debris removal, offer to help sift through ashes for remnants of cherished belongings. If you are welcomed into this process, please note the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The sight of a lost home may be a sacred burial ground of a lost life. Focus on being a respectful guest with slow moments and quiet energy.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Allow your friend to remain the leader at all times. Ask where you should be and what you should pick through. Refrain from going into treasure hunt mode, even if the opportunity is compelling.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Wear a mask, gloves and either a government‐provided disposable protective suit or shoes and clothing you can discard afterwards in the trash. Invisible dust composed of remnants of insulation, metal and other toxins may otherwise be absorbed through your skin or breathed into your lungs. Ensure your friends wear protective clothing/gear as well. If they are weary, be vulnerable and voice that you care about their health. There is no time like the present to help them feel cherished.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>During debris removal there may be little need to talk or fathom the experience of losing a home. Your value is being a rock of quiet, steady support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Just listen\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sit in the discomfort. Do not offer a bright side. Finding a silver lining is their work, not yours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Use your words to validate, not minimize. Refrain from saying, “It was just stuff.” For some people, they just lost their way of life. Sadly, they are probably also embarking on an insurance nightmare, financial ruin or both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If finding the right words is a struggle, consider asking:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>“What feels overwhelming today?”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>“What is on your mind today?”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>“What do you miss or feel angry about today?”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>“What are some tasks you need to accomplish today?”\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3.

Insurance will likely not pay for this. Cleaning a house one must move in or out of in the midst of mourning a destroyed home can feel like just one more bitter piece of a new life a person is suddenly trapped within.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not being alone in this endeavor can soften the sting and free up time to tackle other parts of an endless to-do list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4.

Nearby friends and family who would normally fill the role of helper may be walking around in a daze or scrambling to rebuild their own lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within days of losing our home, a friend from my past tracked me down and firmly asked how she could help. Her question carried a serious, matter-of-fact tone.

She convinced me to give her a list of books and toys her friends could mail to my 7‐year-old daughter.

She asked for permission to send art supplies and then inquired into what my daughter loved. I explained that she loved helping people and dreamed of one day working for the humanitarian organization World Vision. I shared how my girl wept over losing a jar of money in the fire she had spent years filling with allowance and fundraising money to send a wheelchair, mosquito nets and solar lamps to children overseas through World Vision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My friend listened. Then she called World Vision. Seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>World Vision set up a special webpage for people to give money in honor of our daughter. Each day, our little girl watched the webpage as funds were raised to cover her goal, and then funds were raised far in excess. In the midst of staggering loss, that webpage made my daughter overflow in smiles, giggles and jumps up into the air when she was unable to contain her excitement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few months later our daughter, whose world was continuing to crumble, received a package from World Vision with her name on it. She opened it to find handfuls of thank you cards handwritten by World Vision staff. Just imagine the gasping. There could be no greater gift that notes from her heroes. They also sent a beautiful Christmas ornament that will forever hold a special place on our holiday tree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Bring meals\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drop off a meal aligned with food preferences that is prepared in containers that do not need to be returned. Just for fun, throw in a box of ziplock bags or a roll of paper towels. If you are good friends, add a pack of toilet paper. What overwhelmed person doesn’t appreciate a pack of toilet paper?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alternately, set up an online system for other people to bring meals via a website such as takethemameal.com.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6.

There are no accolades for a person who pops a bowl of popcorn and plays Candyland with a child, but I hold it as a gift to the world, especially after a fire, when the world seems to be spinning ever so fast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If helping children feel seen is one of your gifts, please do not hesitate to host children for fun days, board game nights or trips to grab a hamburger. Their parents could no doubt use a few hours of undisturbed, guilt-free productivity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7. Share meals\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Invite friends to your home for meals like breakfast on Saturday morning or dinners throughout the week. Try not to allow any guilt over your house being intact stop you from opening your home. Your friends may need the beauty and stability your home can offer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether you prepare basic meals of spaghetti and salad or more elaborate fall meals with stuffed squash and pumpkin pie, kindness and warmth are always meaningful. (I apologize in advance if your guests act bitter and depressed. Try planning a card or board game as a focused distraction.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8. Lend essentials\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With permission, bring over a laundry basket of kitchen essentials to lend indefinitely.

When she saw tired women in the community, she would hand them a few gift cards.

If you donate used items from your home, do it very carefully\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Used items can be a blessing or a curse and thus must be given mindfully. Let me explain:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Receiving items from the homes of our friends was among the warmest, most moving aspects of life after the fire. One of my most cherished memories of this was receiving a box from a family living far away that was filled with meaningful items collected from their home. We received the box soon after we moved into what our family perceived as an ugly, gross rental.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was obvious the family had walked around their home and chosen beloved items to send to us. There were beautiful homemade napkins that had graced their table, fresh beeswax candles, books written by authors they knew we loved, a cashmere sweater for our younger daughter, a dress for our older daughter and two shirts gifted to my husband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”U3YjpvgVYYVj0yOEr7HkRRxp3cG4QAof”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting over that box of beauty was a turning point for me. For months afterwards, when I felt discouraged over the new dull ugliness in my life, I would think of that enchanting box and feel better. I still think of it, the box with kindness, generosity and beauty folded within.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, receiving boxes of used items was usually a frustrating endeavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the fire we received numerous boxes in the mail from friends and family of random stuff that we could not even donate to a thrift store in good conscience. Sometimes I would take the boxes to the garbage can and pour most of the contents directly into the trash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gratitude is one of my greatest gifts, but I could not believe all the random things people seemingly dumped on us, at a time when I possessed neither the time to process them or places to put them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider: where is a person who lacks dressers or storage containers going to store a pile of random stuff, even if it may potentially be useful one day? If you do not absolutely love an item, your friend probably won’t either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Give what will uplift, not weigh down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>13. Offer to help with paperwork.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your friend has insurance, offer to help with the personal property inventory. This is a soul‐crushing monster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the months after the fire, a friend invited me over and told me we could open a bottle of wine and work through this beast together. Recently, she offered to complete portions of the inventory on her own, portions such as pricing out items in a sewing box, in a laundry room or under a kitchen sink. Again, it is so lovely to not feel alone in this endeavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>14. If you are a close friend living locally, realize that this may be a marathon, not a sprint\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”38ckeV2Wvmhln5feBml8PSsIFYUCJxTH”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will likely take years for people who lost a home to navigate the maddening insurance and financial process ahead, replace basic necessities and bring warmth back to a home. This can be a bitterly exhausting process for friends who did not lose a home within a disaster area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hold the space of your own experience as a survivor. Your life and friendships will perhaps experience deep loss as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Basically: Get ready. You may need to pace yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>15. Know that it is not too late; it will not be too late for at least two years\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, two years post‐fire, I completely broke down in exhaustion while sitting in the living room of a dear friend. Our attorney had just explained that despite the 300 pages of paperwork we have submitted to our insurance company, I have another 100‐300 more to go in order to obtain the balance of the insurance policy monies we seek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I fiercely believe in steady process, mindfulness and not letting mean people sabotage my inner peace, but I snapped. I was shaking in fury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My friend sat with me in my frustration and despair. She listened, offered to fill my teacup and ladled me out a bowl of soup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My point is, it will not be too late to give kindness for quite awhile. This is a long haul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is a long haul of negotiating sadness. It is a long haul of learning nitty gritty details of debris removal, insurance policies, insurance law, hiring a reliable contractor amidst shortages, rebuilding, replacing government‐issued documents and working with a mortgage company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is a long haul of holding confused children. It is a long haul of shopping for things a person does not want to buy again. Sometimes, it is a long haul of navigating maddening absurdity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will long be a place where your help can create fortitude for those suffering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will long be a place where your kindness can heal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you for being a friend to those who need one.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She asked for permission to send art supplies and then inquired into what my daughter loved. I explained that she loved helping people and dreamed of one day working for the humanitarian organization World Vision. I shared how my girl wept over losing a jar of money in the fire she had spent years filling with allowance and fundraising money to send a wheelchair, mosquito nets and solar lamps to children overseas through World Vision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My friend listened. Then she called World Vision. Seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>World Vision set up a special webpage for people to give money in honor of our daughter. Each day, our little girl watched the webpage as funds were raised to cover her goal, and then funds were raised far in excess. In the midst of staggering loss, that webpage made my daughter overflow in smiles, giggles and jumps up into the air when she was unable to contain her excitement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few months later our daughter, whose world was continuing to crumble, received a package from World Vision with her name on it. She opened it to find handfuls of thank you cards handwritten by World Vision staff. Just imagine the gasping. There could be no greater gift that notes from her heroes. They also sent a beautiful Christmas ornament that will forever hold a special place on our holiday tree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5.

There are no accolades for a person who pops a bowl of popcorn and plays Candyland with a child, but I hold it as a gift to the world, especially after a fire, when the world seems to be spinning ever so fast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If helping children feel seen is one of your gifts, please do not hesitate to host children for fun days, board game nights or trips to grab a hamburger.

If you donate used items from your home, do it very carefully\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Used items can be a blessing or a curse and thus must be given mindfully. Let me explain:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Receiving items from the homes of our friends was among the warmest, most moving aspects of life after the fire. One of my most cherished memories of this was receiving a box from a family living far away that was filled with meaningful items collected from their home. We received the box soon after we moved into what our family perceived as an ugly, gross rental.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was obvious the family had walked around their home and chosen beloved items to send to us. There were beautiful homemade napkins that had graced their table, fresh beeswax candles, books written by authors they knew we loved, a cashmere sweater for our younger daughter, a dress for our older daughter and two shirts gifted to my husband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting over that box of beauty was a turning point for me. For months afterwards, when I felt discouraged over the new dull ugliness in my life, I would think of that enchanting box and feel better. I still think of it, the box with kindness, generosity and beauty folded within.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, receiving boxes of used items was usually a frustrating endeavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the fire we received numerous boxes in the mail from friends and family of random stuff that we could not even donate to a thrift store in good conscience. Sometimes I would take the boxes to the garbage can and pour most of the contents directly into the trash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gratitude is one of my greatest gifts, but I could not believe all the random things people seemingly dumped on us, at a time when I possessed neither the time to process them or places to put them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider: where is a person who lacks dressers or storage containers going to store a pile of random stuff, even if it may potentially be useful one day? If you do not absolutely love an item, your friend probably won’t either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Give what will uplift, not weigh down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>13. Offer to help with paperwork.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your friend has insurance, offer to help with the personal property inventory. This is a soul‐crushing monster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the months after the fire, a friend invited me over and told me we could open a bottle of wine and work through this beast together. Recently, she offered to complete portions of the inventory on her own, portions such as pricing out items in a sewing box, in a laundry room or under a kitchen sink. Again, it is so lovely to not feel alone in this endeavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>14. If you are a close friend living locally, realize that this may be a marathon, not a sprint\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will likely take years for people who lost a home to navigate the maddening insurance and financial process ahead, replace basic necessities and bring warmth back to a home. This can be a bitterly exhausting process for friends who did not lose a home within a disaster area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hold the space of your own experience as a survivor. Your life and friendships will perhaps experience deep loss as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Basically: Get ready. You may need to pace yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>15.

I was shaking in fury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My friend sat with me in my frustration and despair. She listened, offered to fill my teacup and ladled me out a bowl of soup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My point is, it will not be too late to give kindness for quite awhile. This is a long haul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is a long haul of negotiating sadness.

And as far as we can tell none of our animal cousins are doing this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the question about the book you wish someone would ask?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brandt: One of our driving forces in the book was to argue for more arts and creativity in the schools, and I don’t think we can get asked that question enough because it’s so important to both of us. We need to take a hard look at the way we’re educating our kids and have a real remodeling of the strategies and the approaches and what we’re doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is creativity?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eagleman: Creativity is taking in the world and remixing it to bring out new versions of it. The piece of it also that’s often under appreciated is the filtering piece which is to say we come up with lots of novel worlds every moment of our lives and most of them don’t make sense in some way and they don’t stick. And so we filter those out. But that’s what creativity is about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brandt: It’s a tension between the familiar and the novel and trying to find the sweet spot in between them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who is the most creative person around right now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eagleman: I think we would strongly answer that that is impossible to know, and the reason is that creativity is always judged in retrospect. All throughout history there have been people who come up with big ideas that are totally not appreciated in their time and they only emerge later as having been really creative geniuses. By the same token there are people who are appreciated in their lifetimes doing something really wonderful and then later it’s seen that it’s sort of trite and they don’t stick around and everywhere in between that. So challenge is that it’s just really hard to tell what qualifies as creative because sometimes that takes a lot of time to figure out.[contextly_sidebar id=”ywoXHGmxuBhl4x6LX6ONmsy1nsVs7J8m”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brandt: And that’s a reminder of how we can’t prejudge children either, and we have to be very careful. The very idea that we could pick out the most creative person often gives us the illusion that we can then identify in children who are the most promising. Society is too fickle and it’s too often wrong. You have to give everyone a chance and see where it leads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the most creative thing that you have done so far in your life?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eagleman: So I’m a neuroscientist, but I wrote a book of 40 short stories called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4948826-sum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sum\u003c/a>,” and that’s been such a lovely part of my life because it really took off. I’m happy to say it became an international bestseller. It’s in 32 languages now. It was turned into two operas by Brian Eno at the Sydney Opera House and by Max Richter at the Royal Opera House in London, and that’s been a very special part of my life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brandt: I’d say my chamber opera “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuLCaU_GZmQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ulysses Home\u003c/a>” which is about a soldier coming home with post-traumatic stress disorder. Writing something that so clearly connected with the community but being able to do it in a avant garde musical way was really very satisfying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the place that gives you the most inspiration?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eagleman: I go to IHOP, and the reason is I can get a lot of work done when I sit down at IHOP. I spend most of my time digesting the world whether that’s at my startup company or on the Stanford campus or reading, you know taking things in. What you actually need to have creative output is also time to digest the world, and so personally I’m going to I hope I always have for my whole writing career. It’s because it’s just just the right level of boring there as opposed to something like Starbucks which is really interesting if you look at all the attractive people coming in and out. IHOP is really boring, and I can sit there with bottomless coffee and really get stuff done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brandt: I think a great concert because of one of the things that you know I feel very strongly is that a great piece of music is actually acting out the creative process right in front of you in real time so you can experience it. You start from some starting point and then you hear a composer like Beethoven working through the ideas in that sweet spot between novelty and familiarity. You know where they’re coming from but you don’t see where they’re going. I just love sitting through that as a way of generating my own thoughts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the best science book for a non-science person?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eagleman: I really enjoyed Jeff Hawkins book called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27539.On_Intelligence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">On Intelligence\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the best music book for a non-music person?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brandt: It wouldn’t be a book. It would be a piece. I’ll say Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s on your to-read list right now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eagleman: Well I got halfway done with E.O. Wilson’s “\u003ca href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20665570-the-meaning-of-human-existence?ac=1&from_search=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Meaning of Human Existence\u003c/a>,” but then I had to return it to the library because of the due date so I’m looking forward to finishing that. I also just got “\u003ca href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20518872-the-three-body-problem?from_search=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Three-Body Problem\u003c/a>,” which is a science fiction book.

Bob Packwood\u003c/a> resigned following sexual abuse claims from multiple women. But neither episode altered much. Boxer says there needs to be a culture shift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do think we’re at a moment here where everybody has to take a look inside themselves,” she says. “And I also think we’re at a moment where the good men have to step up and help us. We women cannot win this on our own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer says the election of President Trump, who has been accused by multiple women of harassment, has not helped the situation.

Former California Sen. Barbara Boxer said that when she was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in the 1980s, a male colleague made a suggestive comment about her while she was presenting a bill in committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went right to the chairman and said this kind of talk is not OK,” Boxer says. “And he said, ‘Why we were just complimenting you.’ I said, ‘It’s not a compliment.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer says harassment is about people asserting their power. She thought things would change when \u003ca href=\"http://chnm.gmu.edu/courses/122/hill/hillframe.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anita Hill\u003c/a> accused now-Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment in 1991. Then Boxer was sure things would change in 1995 when Oregon \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1993/08/29/magazine/the-trials-of-bob-packwood.html?pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sen. Bob Packwood\u003c/a> resigned following sexual abuse claims from multiple women. But neither episode altered much. Boxer says there needs to be a culture shift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do think we’re at a moment here where everybody has to take a look inside themselves,” she says. “And I also think we’re at a moment where the good men have to step up and help us. We women cannot win this on our own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer says the election of President Trump, who has been accused by multiple women of harassment, has not helped the situation. But she says she believes a majority of people oppose such behavior and will continue to speak out against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
