People I never met had experience I cannot ignore. Outsiders to the practice of law, and how some cope with stress, should read this linked item.

 There is little to add to the story of a young man's suicide, unanticipated by the widow, and how that tells each of us, as a prof told a class I was in, as in boxing, protect your head. 

Link. That was big law. It can happen at any level. In any profession. With a doctor treating me, she is talented, and I do not want her to burn out. We've not discussed it, but special people need support, before a burnout. Read this linked story. Set your mind to grasping it in full. Appreciate that stress can affect others more than the stress you've survived. We lose too many.
