It is completely normal for you to feel confused, angry, sad or tearful. This is because you have had such a big shock and this is your brain’s way of coping with it.
If you have had to leave your home and belongings because of the disaster this can make things feel even trickier. Seeing your loved ones struggle because of this can also be very upsetting.
It’s important to remember that you have done nothing wrong and what happened is not your fault. Whatever your feelings are, talking about them will help, even if you feel a bit weird, embarrassed, or unsure about it.
