Picking up where tragedy left off

I started a new job today. Normally I am very excited to start a new project, but this one is different. A brother Ironworker was killed on this project. This isn't the first time I have been on a job where this has happened. What really bothers me about this one is the utter stupidity and unprofessionalism of the procedres that where directed by this failure of a foreman. Thats the toughest part to absorb. When I think of his wife and two young children left without a father, I can't help but feel sorrow and anger. But these emotions aren't going to bring their father back, some wild curse is not going to fall upon this man and he bursts into flames. The show must go on. Each and everyone of us is going to encounter a similiar event weither we like it or not but the focus should be not on what happened its what can a person do to bring closure and peace to the situation, and what knowledge or helping can be said or done to help others or you get through it. All one can really do is be grateful for who you are and the people around you that make life great and continue cutting your path in life.
