Hey megan....'twas tough in the beginning, but after getting emotionally entangled a few times with the relatives & friends of the deceased on-board, once almost fvking up a landing on short final because I was feeling for the survivors. I realized I had to remain completely detached, emotionally cold & uncaring so that I may be at my 100% in keeping the Living & machine Safe
After all that was my job, to keep Safe, saving a Life is secondary
