Dr Emrani: In This Together- Los Angeles After Devastating Fires
 
To My Dear Patients and Community Members Affected by the Fires,

The devastation surrounding us is more than overwhelming—it’s heart-wrenching. The grief we face isn’t just about buildings lost or landscapes changed; it’s about the memories tied to them. Homes where love grew, parks where laughter echoed, schools where dreams took root—all turned to ashes, leaving an emptiness words cannot fill.

The loss is deeply personal. It’s the family photo albums that preserved generations of memories, the heirlooms that carried stories of love and resilience, the books that nurtured imaginations. These were not mere objects; they were extensions of our lives and hearts. Watching them vanish into smoke feels like losing pieces of ourselves.

Many of you are asking, “How do we begin again?” While we cannot undo the pain or bring back what has been lost, I believe in our ability to rise—together. This community is not defined by what we’ve lost but by the love, strength, and kindness that bind us. 

We will rebuild—not just our homes but the heart of this town.

I want you to know I am here for you. My commitment to you remains steadfast. My office will stay open to provide care, guidance, and a space for healing.

We will walk this road together. Though it may be filled with uncertainty and sorrow, we will find our way forward. The love, resilience, and spirit that define this community will guide us toward healing.

Please know you are not alone. Every loss, every tear, is carried by all of us who hold this community close to our hearts. Together, we will be each other’s strength and light as we take the first steps toward rebuilding—not just what we had but something even stronger.

With deepest compassion and unwavering support,
