I was affected some time ago, and I can't emphasize enough how important it is to reach out to the people you were in touch with, just for a simple "sorry to hear the news."

I really appreciated the folks who did reach out - some of whom I honestly didn't expect to. But I was deeply disappointed that others I've worked more closely with didn't bother. I was already in shock, and that just made things worse.

Hard to imagine; you don't really get it until it happens to you - hopefully never.

100% this. It rocked my world when it happened to me. I took a day to recover then hopped back in the job market. But it took a year for the anger to fade.

I probably identified too closely with my job at the time. I've tried to dial that back.
