As a way for FWSs to understand out need for answers, there was a fantastic post floating around here for a while about a policeman coming to your front door and telling you a loved one has died but refusing to give any of the details because they "aren't important".
Does anyone have this and can you post it? We have some good friends going through this right now and I think this would be very helpful for them...
Anyone?

I read this on another site and I've been given permission to use it here. It is how a BS got the truth from her WH.
She (and he) wanted to recover but she felt she wasn't getting the "whole" story. He didn't understand WHY she needed it so bady. So she did this.
"I tell him this:
"Imagine a police officer holding a briefcase rings your doorbell and tells you "BS" is dead.
You ask: "What? How?"
The police officer says: "It doesn't matter. All you need to know is she is dead".
You say: "But when? Where? Who caused it? Did she suffer?"
The police officer says: "Sir, I have all that information right here in my briefcase. But you don't need to know any of it. It may hurt you. You may cry. It will be painful. You will get angry. All you need to know is BS is gone."
Her WH told her all the remaining information.
