I see the guilt and possible desire to do the mentor thing; we do that here, spending time with the sons of deceased Alpha brothers, but to pack and move and start taking up with the widow strains credulity. Not that they planned for this to happen, but I wonder how many of these men were in strained marital/family situations before 9/11?

Like Ladygreek posted, it's emotions that are involved, no room for being rational, especially given the circumstances under which these firefighters met their demise. Unfortunately, once they realize that they are "in too deep", so much damage would have taken place.
Some serious, long-term PTSD counseling needs to take place.
