You got on with the job. I'd have probably dropped everything and headed for my family as fast as I could. Someone else might have simply stopped, and locked all the doors and drawn all the curtains to shut out the world while they tried to get their head around it. Another person might have immediately got on the phone to someone for a long chat and a good cry. All of these are valid responses to stress, no particular option is "right" or "better" or more worthy than the others. Reaction to stress is an individual thing.
