Some parts are the exact words someone used in an interview. We’ve kept them that way so it gives a sense of their state of mind, even if they don’t make complete sense. Reading about people’s experiences of death and bereavement can be upsetting. Please give yourself enough time to deal with any feelings that come up. If you need support, please speak with your manager, and consider the Farewellbeing support service.
