Wow ... I just can't believe it.
I was debating whether or not to come to work today, like I do every Monday. I dragged my butt out of bed and got ready for work. There was more traffic than usual today. Strange. So I get to work a couple minutes late.
I still can't believe it.
I walk into work and come to find out that one of the guys about my age, 25 or so, had died over the weekend in a car accident. Wow. I am in shock. It feels so surreal. I didn't know him very well, and we didn't talk much. But he was the type of guy that went out of his way to say Hi to you no matter what. He was always smiling, and a very positive person all around. He did A LOT to help everyone, and not just at work.
He traveled a lot of places to help other people and also for his own personal trips. Anything he wanted to do he did.
This is hitting everyone in the office really hard. Many people were close friends with him. People are crying.
It makes me really sad to see people in so much pain. I have never lost a close friend, only elderly relatives due to old age and the such. I don't really know what to feel. I am definitely sad, but I think the only reason I would start crying is because I see everyone else in so much pain.
People are trying to make the best of it, I can tell. Trying not to think about it. How are you supposed to do that? Especially when you're at work. Everyone I talk to keeps saying that they still expect him to walk through the door.
For such a good person to die at such a young age ... it truely is a tragedy.

Stephanie,
The fact that other's people pain hurts you says that you have a very warm and caring heart no need to feel weird about crying for someone you did not know - you have that right. The only advice I can give is to try to bring a smile to your mourning coworkers, they could use it right now.
