Sigge Eklund back in the ashes: "All hope died"

Podcast profile Sigge Eklund lost everything in the fires raging in Los Angeles. Now he has been back to the ashes where the house stood. It was a bit like a funeral, he says.

After telling about the shock in "Alex and Sigge's podcast", he has now also returned to the burned-down house in Pacific Palisades.

When we drove away, I felt that I would never go back there. It was too heavy to see, Eklund tells Expressen.

Some of the affected hope to be able to rebuild their houses again. But not Sigge Eklund, not as it feels now, he says.

The advantage of coming there was that all hope died in the end. It was like a funeral, you realized that hope was gone. The heat was so extreme. There wasn't a single molecule left.

I don't think we'll ever go back there.

Eklund and his family are unharmed and are now temporarily staying at a hotel inland. They hope to get help from their insurance company, but it's also about the family's sense of security, he says.

I'm afraid of how you'll feel about a home in the future. I hope you can muster the energy to invest in building a new home. It's hard to buy something because you feel that everything feels so ephemeral. You feel broken at the core.
