Your story is truly heartbreaking. I completely agree that grief has no set timeline. Please know that Cindy’s story continues to live on with you, and you are not alone in this journey.

So much to say and no words right now. Just sat here shaking my head and wiping away tears. We'll talk, I know, about this and many of your posts, but organisational duty of care is something that boils my blood when it's not just neglected but actively overridden. I went to a police wellbeing conference a few years ago with my dear colleague Ed, a police sergeant medically retired with PTSD. We were talking about evidence based practice to prevent (or at least minimise the risk of) PTSD. The chief officer responsible for wellbeing did his opening speech and then walked out before Ed started talking. An unforgivable act that I will never forget. The fact that he was clearly oblivious to the impact of his behaviour meant he should never have been in that role! There is SO much to do to! Thinking of you Jason

Thank you for sharing your story and baring your soul. I'm learning from you. I'd much rather read your posts and cry a little than doomscroll past all the garbage and fret over everything.
