Message To The Bereaved
If you reached USMWF you or someone you love has probably suffered the loss of a loved one due to a workplace fatality.
There is nothing anyone can say or do to ease the pain. The trauma
involved is beyond the “normal” grieving process. When a workplace tragedy occurs, there is a terrible sense of injustice, bewilderment, disbelief, sometimes anger – all combined with feelings of horror, loss and pain. This
is a confusing and conflicting array of emotions all while trying to
“come to terms with” the fact a tragedy happened. Often people feel
no one can relate to the tragedy of a workplace death and what you have been through. The grief and feelings of loneliness are
overwhelming.You are not alone! There are many others out there in the same position.
We know the devastation which takes place in the mind, body and soul. Your loved one is not forgotten – he/she is in the hearts and minds of many.
USMWF is a support group made up of empathetic families who have been
there. We can help bear the load. We strive to help you and others from having to go through both the grieving process and investigative process alone.
We can help you and your lost loved one have a voice.

Fred R. Barnard said, “One picture is worth a thousand words.”
How many words does it take to peer into the eyes of
tragedy or feel the heartache and pain that is set in motion after our loved
one was lost. The Faces Campaign is intended to give workplace fatalities a
face, gain awareness and educate workers, employees, organizations and our
government. We invite you to add a face of someone lost due to a workplace
incident to
tammy@usmwf.org (subject Faces Campaign) with the following information:
- Photo of Worker
- Name
- Age
- Birth date
- Loss date
- Place of employment
- Your name
- Your relationship with lost worker
Provide as much of this information as you have. At a minimum we need your loved one's name and yours. Have you lost a loved one and want to get involved? Take the survey here for pdf and here for word then send it to Debi Fergen *Please note if you send in your loved ones photo it may be featured in print and/or online.Worker Memorial Day
Every year USMWF puts together a list of Workers Memorial Day Events.
Last year we created a site just for this special day, normally April 28th.
On the site you will be able to connect with other families who are either attending WMD
events or Hosting one themselves. visit the site
here and keep an eye out for
updates!
Have A Good Idea?
USMWF is very committed to helping you in any endeavor you feel may be relevant.
There are always a few questions you need to ask yourself about any special project. This is very important because of our time constraints and because
special projects are to help you further awareness and or any cause USMWF.
Take the time to answer a few of our questions alone with your presentation. You may view our
questioner here
