Response as Judith Templeton, Social Service Worker
“What have I done? One second ago, Shaila is willingly assisting me on my journey to visit the victims’ families who have not accepted; and now she is on the subway, probably halfway home by now. This whole situation is an absolute disaster. I completely understand her actions, although I wish she was still here to help me translate. I hope it wasn’t me who caused her to leave, although I think the entire situation is getting to Shaila. I want to call her, but then again, that might be inappropriate. I guess I’ll just wait until the situation has settled. I understand her grief, as she has been calmer throughout the situation than anybody I know. Hmmmm what to do now? I assume the lady who we were going to visit will not be pleased if I show up alone yet again. It is important I convince her to obtain the medical help we are providing… I can’t even think straight right now. I wish for the best for all of the people suffering, but it has been quite some time since the incident; these people will not even go to Ireland to recover their loved ones bodies! I have to be understanding, though. I cannot imagine being in their position. No more stalling, back to work for me. Shaila will be deeply missed, but her management of grief is not of my concern.”
