We met over three years ago. She was a fellow civil engineer in a different division of the company. We had spoken only a handful of times. She was a couple of years younger with much greater potential. She was recently married, but I was unaware that she was expecting. Last night, she passed away due to complications while giving birth. By a miracle, her baby girl is doing well.
I may not have known her well, but I'm still stunned and saddened. Hardly anyone in the office recognizes her name, which grieves me even more. I can't fully express what I'm feeling.
oh... i'm sorry. it's very hard to write or even speak about things that hold so much sadness. i wish her family and new baby well; the next little while will be difficult for them. i'm sure that her dad will have a lot to tell her about her mom when she's older. you should make her known, to those that don't remember.
all the best.
Sara, thank you. I visited her division yesterday afternoon and was deeply touched by the compassion and support those that knew her gave each other. She'll be missed for certain.
