Dealing with Death

Thinking about all the death and destruction from 7 years ago today. All those families who relive that horrible day every year and maybe times in between the anniversary. I cannot understand why someone would want to relive that part of the death of a loved one. If they die or are killed I can see the mourning part of it and the grief and everything else that goes with it. But to revisit the place where they died or the place of the destruction, to sit on panels and commitees just seems like they are drawing out the pain. It would be like getting a stab wound in the stomach and just as it starting to heal you stick the knife back in and wiggle it around. I'm not saying to totally forget them because the scar will always remain, but to get past the initial impact and not open that wound back up. I'm not saying they are wrong, I just don't understand why someone would want to revisit that pain over and over again.
