Bring in a method to the madness: A lot of people get trauma because they dont know how to handle a destruction of such a massive scale... where do I start? what do I do first?
If we could break down the to-dos methodically for them and give them one small thing to do per day, it would (a) give them a sense of accomplishment each day; (b) give them a feeling like they have a grasp on it because what's-to-be-done all laid out visually in front of their eyes.
Just turn around and see what you have done today. If you have cleared up the mess in one room - Go ahead and celebrate yourself!
If you have managed to just write down a list of things that have to be done - from certificates to important papers that will have to be acquired again - Go ahead and celebrate yourself.
Find an inspiring quote, photo, painting that you can hang up in your house as a message of hope for rebuilding your lives.
Hold hands with your family and share a joke together! - Go ahead and celebrate yourselves appreciating one wonderful thing each of you did. Even a breakdown and cry together is a way of celebrating.
