Question:
A co-worker died, and I am not handling it well. Has the death of a near stranger ever deeply affected you?
A co-worked died yesterday. He worked on a different floor. I think I spoke with him once on the phone, and maybe saw him a few times in the hall. He was very young. He died from an illness, not suicide or a wreck or anything like that.
I can't stop thinking about him, and I don't know why his death has effected me so much when I hardly knew the guy.
Answers:
You probably are taking this hard because of his age. It's always difficult to think of somebody young dying and especially from an illness. It makes us think of our own lives and could something happen to us like that. Even if you didn't know him well, you did have contact which brings his death in to your life. Also, thinking of him shows you have compassion. That's a wonderful trait.
