One of my coworkers died yesterday. It was very sudden and unexpected. My team lead told me about it right after she came in the door and I had already been clocked in for about 8 or 9 minutes.
I was shocked. Another coworker asked how she had died and the team lead didn't know. The team lead said our coworker had been found lying on the floor, dead, by her daughter when she came home yesterday. All I could say was, "really?! Wow. Damn..."
I started tearing up, but I couldn't let myself cry since customers were coming in. Due to the nature of my job early in the morning, I had plenty of mentally free time which didn't help me. I kept thinking about how I had just seen her a few days before. I thought about her adorable granddaughter who she would bring in on her days off while she went shopping. Her granddaughter is only 2-3 years old. That poor girl loved her "mamaw," that was clear to everybody. I can't imagine what she's going through...
I really liked her. She was nice and didn't take shit from anyone. I didn't know her very well, but I enjoyed talking to her when I had the chance.
If I see/hear anything about any funeral, burial, or cremation services that are set up for her, I'll donate some money or maybe pay for some flowers.
I've felt varying levels of anxiety ever since I had lunch today. I believe my coworker's death has something to do with it, otherwise I can't pinpoint a cause.
It was nice knowing her for the 6 months that we worked together.
May she rest in peace.
