Happy anniversary to us!
We’ve been through some shit. Some days have felt really dark. But time after time we both put in the work to make sure we find the light.
You’re my rock and my world.
Love you @jt_from_ktown
Pt3. But I push through the anxiety to remind myself of the immense pride I have for him and how I know that sharing his part of that day will help others. 🩵

Pt. 1
My husband is gone to the Ontario Crisis Negotiator Conference to share his story in partnership with the man who negotiated his release. It’s the first time he’s travelled to a conference without me. My anxiety is high.
Pt. 2
I know he is strong, has the insight and skills to stop a conversation if he feels like it’s too much. My anxiety isn’t so much around him. It’s more about the unknowns. “That day” I sat for hours with so many unknowns and now I’m feeling that again, just at a lower level.
Got this message through the website for my blog. I was brought to tears. I started this 3 years ago as an outlet - I never thought my words and my journey would have this impact but I am so grateful 🤍

Thanks to OPSEU/SEFPO members who work on the frontline providing vital public services like mental health and addiction supports!
On #WorldMentalHealthDay let's challenge stigmas and fight to ensure everyone has access to essential supports. Mental Health is a Human Right!
To any first responder who is working today instead of spending it with their loved ones, thank you! I am thankful for you!

Talking to my 15-year-old about staying safe at parties and group hangs, especially when there may be alcohol or drugs. I could pretend these things aren’t happening or not let her out of the house, but instead we talk these things through so she knows consequences and impact.
I asked a table of first responders if they thought it was possible for someone to come out of a PSP (public service personnel) career without some form of an OSI - they unanimously said no! They agreed everyone will come away from that career with something. #ptsdawareness
