When your Zendesk Essential Support account gets hit by mountains of spam, Zendesk provides no feature to filter and delete those messages quickly. You can delete 30 tickets at a time, and that’s it.

I was looking after a newborn and trying to recover psychologically from a horrendous birth experience.I coped, but barely. It was no fun.

Before Archie’s memorial service, I’d spent about two weeks organising photos of his handsome face and figured I was pretty well prepared for a funeral. I had gone through the darkness and the shock.
