Читать книгу The Firefighter's Appeal - Elizabeth Otto - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

As a career emergency medical technician of fourteen years, who is also married to a firefighter, I can tell you that I’ve had some scary moments on the job. Day after day of helping people through some of their worst life moments gets pretty stressful, and in a way, can make you very afraid of the world around you. In fact, a couple years ago, I reached my tipping point and started to become unusually anxious and afraid of everyday things, like driving to the grocery store, or catching a horrible disease. I was afraid of letting my children out of my sight, because I was so certain that something bad was going to happen.

This type of fear-related stress is not uncommon for emergency workers and firefighters. Hence, in The Firefighter’s Appeal, our hero, Garrett, is dealing with the very real fear of something bad happening to those he loves.

Luckily, with a bit of rest, relaxation and time away from the job, this problem can be overcome, and for most of us, it is. It’s always good to remember the good things in life to balance out the scary parts. The best cure of all? The love of friends and family to pull you through.

I hope you enjoy The Firefighter’s Appeal.
