Had a couple of nightmares last night which is probably just the aftermath of being on ambulance shift at a fatal, high speed MVA yesterday afternoon. Having done some debriefing this morning and engaged with peer support has been a tremendous help but it did make me consider how we best support each other and how draining giving support can be at times. Yes, it’s our role to support our loved ones but I think it’s aso important to make sure we support ourselves so we’re able to support others and that we seek support when it’s needed. Many of us try and “be strong” and go it alone but that’s not always the sensible thing to do. A sharing and caring network can be the difference between coping and sinking.
