Iggy68 28 #1 Posted January 23, 2013 My 24 year old son works for a company that provides temp labor for construction companies. Long story short they had a fatal accident last night at one of the job sites. A 39 year old man lost his life. My son was the first to talk to the mans wife being he was the management person there. He is pretty tore up about the whole thing. If only we could snap our fingers and take it away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 19,648 #3 Posted January 23, 2013 Gotta be tough to be the first to talk to someones loved ones with that type of news. I wouldn't know where to begin. Maybe just hugs and handshakes would be better than words. Hope I'm never in that position. Mike............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VinsRJ 721 #6 Posted January 23, 2013 I worked at an old folks home when I was younger... there was a couple of times I walked in on an individual who had passed... it changes your veiw of death for sure. And the notification process is always a weird situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6wheeler 586 #8 Posted January 23, 2013 We lost a driver a few years ago.He was the only driver that was ever lost in an accident(rollover). He and his wife were very good friends of mine. Talking to her that afternoon was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. You just don't know what to say. I am so sorry for his situation. My heart goes out to him and the family of the gentleman that was lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
