Yep. You never know what effect it will have. A woman in my lab died over Thanksgiving in a car accident. She was smart, ambitious, a minority. I wasn't close to her but when I heard, all I could think of was a former college friend--also smart, ambitious, a woman, and a minority--who died the same way 1 week after our graduation. I was really shaken for about a month and could not have explained why had anyone asked.
the approach to death and death, itself, are both really weird. It's odd how much it can change your view or your thought patterns... even if just for a moment.
