I even stopped talking about some of them with my wife as just the verbal account upset her a lot. That's why cops often only talk to other cops. You hate to put something like that on someone else, but a fellow officer has seen their share already. As to the 7 year son.....that's a whole different level. There are no tricks, tips, or ways to handle the death of children. It flat out rips your heart out and there's nothing you can do about.

It's hard for me to look at people in their caskets during a funeral. I do understand what you're saying though. I think disassociating yourself is the only way one may be able to handle it. I also understand why it hits you when you read about them later. That would be tough. I'm curious to know how you get those images out of your head....or do you? A friend just buried her 7yo son, who accidentally hung himself. She found him and I cannot imagine having that image stuck in my head for the rest of my life. I wonder how you get over things like that.... I am one of the people who thinks I couldn’t handle the sight. It’s hard for me to look at people in their caskets during a funeral.
