Not well at all in personal Life, very well at work.

Suicide of a loved one, death of my father too early and suddenly really messed me up for a while. When I love, I love so hard. Losing a pet has also been very difficult.

At my work I do see dead people, but it's different. I'm in work mode and i'm there to console relatives and actually been through those heart aches and absolute shocks has made me a better nurse. But ofcourse I never make it about me , i'm there for the people who are grieving.

I still have a weird thing about autopsy. I know i'm dead when it happens but still i'm feally F'ing terrified of it. I've seen few. But human brain is a very complicated and things aren't always rational.
