Holy crap.

I just found out that someone I used to work with died.  She's young.  I didn't know her well, at least not outside of work, and I only worked with her for 8 months, but it's really weird.  Really, really weird, and really, really awful.  I'm not really sure how to feel.

I'm sorry to hear about that! Was there an accident or was she sick?

Sorry to hear that. I always find that sort of thing disorienting.

You do not have to feel any certain way at all. Feelings are individual and you always get to feel however you feel. How you act matters more. Send a condolance card at eth eleast. If local and easy to do drop by the wake if they are having one.

It's a hell of a blow.  I remember how confused I felt when I started seeing the names of old schoolmates showing up on the Iraq fatalities list.

I know she had some health issues--her heart, I believe.  They're not sure what happened, they're doing an autopsy today I guess.  She was only in her early 30s.  Ugh.

I just found out that a co-worker died yesterday too. I only knew her from work, but it was still unexpected.It's strange because it's not a situation where you're really going to break down and cry, but it's still kind of shocking. Just kind of reminded me that we're all human I guess...

I hate finding out stuff like this. I know exactly the weird feeling you are talking about. I'm sorry to hear about this girl. :-( So sad.

My little brother got a call from one of his good friend's mom - kid jumped out of their 25th floor apartment window into the courtyard.  He was barely 21.  It was the third of his friends to die within 6 years (2 suicides, one auto accident).  It's always hard when that kind of stuff happens to someone so young.
