The worst thing that I had to do was not actually the job but something that had to be done because of the job. I had to work in a city morgue for a week. During this period an undertaker had come in and wanted a particular body. I went to get it out of the cold room and couldn't find it at first mostly because they just had numbers on their big toe and all the trollies were full. I eventually found it between the legs of another body. It was a 5 or 6 year old boy. I had to pick him up in my arms and walk about 50 meters to the waiting undertaker. At that time I had young boys of my own and by the time I got there I was a complete and utter mess. My shirt front was wet with tears. I had simply broken up. I know it's not as bad as some things that humans experience, but it has haunted me all my life since.
