How terrible. I guess it depends on how close you were to her, and just how you deal with death in general.

2 1/2 years ago, one of my absolute favorite people at work died suddenly, and I still think about her.

But I am prone to that kind of thing, and I just loved her as a person.

Whatever you do, don't feel guilty about complaining. I think people complained about my friend because she has an important job and had been out that week, and I would hate to think that they felt any guilt over that.

Oh Sarah, I'm so sorry about that happening - (just read your last post also) - it's so awful.

I'm glad you're holding up well though.

Thanks again everyone! Today has been a little easier so far, though we found out that the calling hours are tonight and the funeral is tomorrow so I will probably be going to the funeral tomorrow morning with coworkers.
