How can I not take my work home? I mean it's not like I get to go into the office, punch some numbers or answer the phone and go home. I go in and am immediately face to face with someone in crisis, sitting there listening to terrifying accounts, sometimes watching tears streaming from their faces, looking into a parent's eyes that is filled with hurt and confusion, trying to comprehend how this horrible event can happen to their precious child. Everyone involved wishing that this was just a bad dream and that when we go home and wake up the next morning, none of it had really happened. I don't know how as yet but I know I have to try........
For the past few days I've just been experiencing terrible stomach pains I knew then I had internalized what I saw, often times for me emotional/psychological stress will manifest itself as physical pain.
