Editor:
It is with disappointment that I continue to read about efforts of Babine workers families to take action against Worksafe BC in relation to the tragic accident at Babine Forest Products four years ago.
I can understand why the family seeks closure for what happened, and while I sympathize with their grief, filing lawsuits, trying to fix blame, trying to pin responsibility on someone for what happened will never bring rest of mind on the matter. Closure will be found only in acceptance of what has happened and an attitude of forgiveness to whoever may have made mistakes.
There is a healing to be found in forgiveness and in acceptance of past events that will never be found in legal actions and lawsuits. This will only produce further tension and animosity and will prevent the very healing being sough.
May all find comfort and healing in our great God's grace and comfort to us.
Charles H. Priest
