I'm new to the ems world and there are many things that I have not experienced. I am counting on my fellow ems personal to help me in this time of need...
My partner was not my partner for a long time but him and I had a connection, a work and personal connection. We clicked. He was troubled and depressed. I helped him as much as I could but when job opportunities broke us up, we lost touch.
Found out he took his own life a month after our last day together. I feel like an 18 wheeler is on my chest. I never meant to care about a partner this much but how can you not after working together, whether it be a short time or the only partner you have ever known.
Is there any way to distant yourself from your partner so that if something unexpected happens, you aren't in this much grief. Or is it best to be there as much as possible, invest in your partner just like your patients.
I'm at a loss....
