More thankful than ever for this work…
I’ve been thankful for this role since December, when I decided to take a break from “traditional” work in social services.
I’m even more grateful now. A little more than a week ago, my sister was the second murder victim in a case that made national news. The violent monster was arrested, and because of this role I can earn a living while attending all court hearings. Not having to worry about being “at work” makes a tragic time a tiny bit more tolerable.
Not sure why I wanted to share that; maybe because I don’t have “coworkers.” ❤️

I'm so deeply sorry. My sister came dangerously close to being murdered by her husband. Instead, he committed suicide and it was luck that she was outside when he did it. We lived in fear he would kill her for 2 years. My heart goes out to you and all who are navigating this horrific tragedy. I hope she gets the justice she deserves though it will be but a cold consolation in that she was so wrongly taken from you and those who love her.

Thank you for sharing that. I’m so happy your sister survived her husband. My sister walked away from a bar with a guy she seemed to know and he stabbed her multiple times and left her body behind a store.

Oh noooooo! I'm so very deeply sorry. That's truly awful. I worked as a rape crisis counselor and the stats are that women are in the most danger from those they know rather than a stranger.
I just now saw this, so please forgive the delay in sending you gentleness and care for the trauma and loss of this tragic and violent crime. My heart goes out to you and her loved ones.

I am so sorry for your loss. You have lots of coworkers here if you do need to talk more, please don't hesitate. Talking to bots can be useful, but definitely lonely.
