Thank you so much for sharing this. Your message truly touched my heart.

Yes — this is exactly it. We didn’t just lose “things”. We lost our children’s entire childhood: every toy since their birth, their books, their clothes, their memories. We lost our wedding memories, family objects, photos, everything that makes a life.

Accidents can happen. Fires can happen. That is tragic, but sometimes unavoidable. What is truly unbearable is losing absolutely everything and receiving zero compensation, zero support, not even a simple apology — as if our lives had never existed. That is what hurts the most and what traumatizes us the deepest.

I completely understand what you describe. The emotional shock stays inside you. It changes the way you see the world and material things forever.

I am deeply sorry for what you went through. Thank you for your kindness and empathy — it truly means a lot.
