today has been rough. a coworker i worked closely with in my previous role, who was universally loved by everyone, passed away unexpectedly. being how i'm on the business team now, we got notice before anyone else so that we could help prep for the grief. because of this i did not get a chance to really process and reflect on this until my lunch break.
she was such a sweet person. one of the people where if i knew she was going to be working with me, the day might be a little better just from her mere presence. the kind of person who was kind and happy even when the rest of us were stressed out and overwhelmed. i hope her family will be okay.
