v3 Unpack the Backpack Janet’s Light

Unpack the Backpack Janet’s Light We suit up every shift — hearts on the line, sirens in our minds. Kid on the table, brother down in the smoke… the backpack gets heavier with every call we couldn’t save. But we don’t shove it down. We unpack it together. A heartfelt tribute to Janet — who back in ’76 at the Center for Living & Dying taught generations of healers how to face the grief, make meaning, and find resiliency in the work family circle. 45 years of walking with the hurt and the lost, turning broken pieces into bridges. "Thank you, Janet, for lighting up this place." For all first responders, caregivers, patient advocates, and unsung heroes carrying invisible wounds — this one’s for you. 🎵 Music & lyrics by DaddyMing Part of the Unsung Heroes & 74th Ave stories If you’ve ever carried the heavy backpack of trauma and found healing in community, share in the comments.
