@Rasta Oh my God, what a terrible tale. It happened so fast from the time they contacted the shore. And that lifeboat that was almost rescued ...
@tc_morekindness
Just one of several losses in my time.
Without a loss of life, we rescued everyone on a floundering ship once, and while watching it, as the last person was being airlifted, a snow squall went by and as it cleared, there wasn't a trace a large ship had ever just been there a minute ago -

Down by Peggys Cove, the memorial is the next left turn from the Lighthouse. I went to work and came home 30 hours later, 229 people died on my watch, and my cat. -

My wife called me (was just to be another boring duty watch, she had no idea what was transpiring.
Our blind 14 year old cat fell downstairs. -

Especially for the families, but the community rallied and fishermen were the first on scene. Many people in the military had to be released after dealing with it. I didn't believe it was affecting me, since I wasn't on scene. I guess you don't need to be. -

Oh, I know now. I have my own head doctor. Veterans Affairs assigned one to me. Being rural, there's no chance of group therapy, that's 5 hours on the road and two hundred miles. But we have video meets and he gives me drugs. -

@tc_morekindness They prescribe pills too easily. My sleep was never good but I don't want to be a zombie. We had some disagreements about what drugs he prescribes and what works.
I also get medical cannabis but not through that doctor -
