Belinda Bozykowski was never a police officer. But her partner, Laurie Fox, was.
On the last day of 2012, Fox took his own life, leaving her with two young sons, a broken heart and a million questions.
Belinda is as brave as any Valour Award winner. After her partner's death, she completed her midwifery course, cared for their boys, and dedicated a great part of her life to the mental health of first responders.
It is perhaps the only way she could make sense of something so indescribable.
Between laughter and tears, Belinda shares her story with John Silvester.
