Death Investigators, I see you:
To the death investigator waking up shaking, having nightmares about your last scene, I see you.
To the death investigator knocking on a door at 03:00 to give a family the worst news of their lives, I see you.
To the death investigator pulling away from a scene but just around the block, out of view - so you can cry for a while, I see you.
To the death investigator looking for evidence in a filthy drug house while trying not to be stuck by a dirty needle , I see you.
To the death investigator called to an ER scene, interviewing a family that prayed their loved one would survive, I see you.
To the death investigator attempting to maintain composure as you stand questioning parents about the sudden death of their infant and having to ask them to place the doll in the position in which they last saw their child alive, I see you.
To the death investigator searching for a young persons Facebook profile in an attempting to get a tiny glimpse of the lives you’re about to destroy with your notification, I see you.
To the death investigator being told time and time again how “awesome” your job must be, knowing people have NO idea, I see you.
To the death investigator dealing with the most tragic of events, day after day, I see you.
To the death investigator, almost always forgotten, and rarely thanked, I see you.
To the death investigator putting your heart and soul into your job, to find truth, provide dignity and help families navigate the worst days of their lives, I see you.
We stand together, but often alone
We are the last responders
