Just this past week I saw a meme on FB about how your employer will have your job opening posted before your obituary if you died.
Then I found out this morning that a friend/colleague passed away a few nights ago. We worked in the same field and used to golf together. I had known her since 2014. She was in her mid-40s.
She has been sick since late 2020, was put into medically induced comma and put on a vent for a while to keep her alive in 2020. We all thought she would never wake up, but she did and was doing ok. She would never talk about what was wrong with her but was in and out of the hospital since 2020.
She worked a hybrid telework/in person schedule which is probably the only reason she was able to keep working. And sadly she truly had no choice but to keep working till the end as her insurance was tied to her job.
Just reminded me how many more things in our life are more important than our job/career.
