I wrote an entry earlier. It's gone now (as you can tell).
I'll put it back up later, I'm sure. I'm just not ready yet. I do hope you understand.
I've scheduled a CISM debriefing. I really hope it helps because this not sleeping thing isn't okay. I suppose you've got to use the resources that are available, so that's what I'm doing.
Please, just send good thoughts this way.
Take care out there,
Sam

Sam---I'm a bit behind, but know that feeling all too well. Especially lately. Keep your chin up....I'm sending you the best.
Aw, man.
I hope the CISD works out for you - you're in my prayers.
I loooooooooove you.

Sometimes, the events in our lives can be so hard...knowing how quietly strong-willed you are, you will be okay. We all support you. Take care of yourself, and I mean that.
Hang in there kiddo. Lots of good thoughts and prayers for you are headed your way from somewhere a little further north. ;o)
People like that don't deserve to have kids. Seriously.
Truly you and others like you are angels to be able to do what you do each and every day.
A dear friend of mine recently left his job as a firefighter/EMT because he just couldn't take trying to revive one more dead hooker from the crack house. His last patient? A hooker who had OD'd. She couldn't be revived. He said it was like the underscore on his resignation.
God bless you - D
