Several Years Later...The Mission Lives
This book started as therapy for me. It became a voice for hundreds of first responders across the country who finally realized — they’re not broken, they’re human. The mission hasn’t ended… it’s just beginning.
Why This Book Exists
Body Removal
" I believe it was at this time I finally grasped what it meant to show empathy at work".
The Hostage
" The memory of the child's screams haunted me in the days and months that followed the incident".
The Suicide
My good friend, a Marine and deputy, took his own life while I was on the phone with him. I was then forced into therapy and that day, my mission began.
This is more than a book- it's a wake up call for every first responder

What Others Are Saying
"Honest, clear, and insightful"
The author’s honesty and integrity show through clearly. His experiences I am sure will help others in law enforcement and others going through life altering events or whom may know of someone going through significant events.

"Important read for all, especially first responders"
The author has been through a lot and I appreciate his rawness and honesty. Speaks to first responders not being immune to trauma, which as a healthcare professional I can say is often an expectation. I appreciate his vulnerability and how he gave actions for starting with prioritizing mental health. This was a great read and amazing to see how far the author has come. I hope this enables more people to turn inward and recognize the importance of dealing with their own mental health and this is especially true for first responders.

"Outstanding and super emotional"
I read this book in about an hour and was hooked from the first page. I am a wife to a Sheriff and I have never really fully been able to understand what really goes on in my husband line of work when it comes to mental health. Reading this book I cried and smiled and everything in between. I could feel it all. Not just for Gilbert but for my husband as well. I now have a better understand of what my husband goes threw. Every shift if different, every encounter is different and mentally it's all over the place. This book changed my perspective on a lot of things. I absolutely recommend this book not only for cops, veterans and any arm force military people but for spouses, partners and general loved once who have personal connections to these people in law.
