    1. Take a refresher CPR course.

    2. Make a humble pie and have a slice.

    3. Give your dad and bro a hug and whisper in their ear that you love them.

    4. My mom passed in the front room that I am sitting in at the moment.
    She still makes me laugh when I remember her. Remember the good times.

    5. Do one thing in the office to honor your friend.
    A plant, A sign, A photo?

    6. When you feel sick, go see a doc.

    7. What would K think of you if you fell apart because you have to work in that room?

    8. Live with a purpose.

    What RICHARD said x 10!!! The only thing I can add, if it'll make you feel any better, is that anyone who was trained in CPR freezes up now and then. It happens. Especially if it's someone you know.

    I suffer from PTSD from finding my father dead. Please Blue, do yourself a favor, find someone you can talk to. It really helps.

    You're in my thoughts and prayers, honey.

    Blue, I can't add much to what others have said. Richard's advice is great.

    I'm sorry this happened, I hope your friend rests in peace, and I hope you can find your own peace.

    My goodness, I am so sorry that you went through all this. Cyber hugs coming your way.

    I like all that Richard wrote. And Karen's ideas as well.

    I am so sorry for your loss. That is a really frightening experience to go through, and my heart goes out to you.

    Do find someone to talk to about it. I came home to find my grandmother dead years ago and didn't do anything about it at the time. I wish I had, and even though I'm working through it now, the guilt was something I've carried for a long while. Please take care of yourself, and do what you need to get through it.

    HUGS and prayers with you.

    ((((HUGS)))) for you Blue! I know you are a big rough tough guy but don't try to carry this alone.. Even the best of the best need help now and then..

    Those guys who were there for my son Eddie had big problems after seeing him walking down the hall on fire screaming for help. They took action without a thought for their own safety but afterwards, they saw it every time they tried to go to sleep and had PTSD from it..

    This was a major event in your life. Do not be to proud to see help when/if you need it. I don't know who you work for but they should send you to see someone just to make sure you are dealing with it in a healthy way.. You should not have to deal with this alone...

    I've had you on my mind wondering how you did back at work. Glad to hear it went better than expected but one day it might come rolling in on you when you least expect it so prepare for that. Just remember the day after will be a better day if it happens.

    Tell you one thing.. It is making me think about getting re-certified. Who knows Blue, your posting this could save someones life one day by one of us who gets re-certified.

    If K's death inspires any of us to get re certified Im sure it would make his big smile even bigger.

    When I worked at school, they made all of us cafeteria manages get certified. The very next day after completing the coarse, one manager had someone have a heart attcak in her cafeteria so she knew exactly what to do.
