My story is sometimes funny, it is extremely sad in places, and very harrowing in other parts. I still shed tears when I think back on some of the incidents, but that's life, and something I will have to live with. This story...my story, is real. Real life. murder, rape, sexual assault, hangings, and one unders, they were all in the mix. We were all things, to all people, packaged, and moulded, into a crisp new uniform. A social worker, a counsellor, a mediator, a life saver, a listener, and sometimes a tea maker. One thing is certain....... its not Casualty or any other emergency medical TV show. The pain, heartache, and the trauma is not for the faint hearted. The tears shed, could sink a battleship. This is real life, Full of real incidents, with real people, in real places. I dare you not to be moved.
