Ever had a coworker pass away?

I worked for 20 years at a major TV network, and in that time, I knew about a dozen people who passed, including a former boss, and one customer service person who actually died at her desk during the workday.

Earlier this week, a former co-worker, who had been there for 40 years and won several Emmys, died just short of his 67th birthday in May, when he would have retired. That was really sad.
They gave him a nice shout-out on a sports show last week.

It's so difficult to lose someone you worked with. Has anyone else experienced this?

We had someone dying fast [we thought several days] so a van load of us all went to go say our last goodbyes. She died 10 mins before we got there, and there she was all out on the couch and we milled around with her family for a little. I was so traumatized and they never brought anyone in to talk about it. Mandated training the next day for a system we never used.
