Returning to work after caring for family - 13 months and counting

I used to work as a security officer and I am looking for a part-time role to start. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I am unsure how to describe the break. How did you get back in?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
