What was the community focus? How was that experience of banding together? Heart

 

 


Community focus was about holding each other up to rebuild and move forward. Soo many shops were burnt down during the fires, yet shop owners and the community worked to support each other to clean up in the aftermath, open their doors using tents and marquees, rebuild, then re-open. This was about celebrating their journey of resilience particularly going through the grief process. Shops celebrate this by displaying dates of significance outside their shop, along with messages of hope from the community and photos showing the journey. 

Due to forum guidelines, I am not able to share these photos, but it is something that brings tears to the community. Life is about moving forward despite the losses, and we can in turn celebrate the journey of recovery.
