WWTBAM Bored

... not for the usual reasons, but because I have to do something unpleasant and sad.

My company is relatively small, about 50 employees. And for the third time in the three years I have been there, I have to submit a death claim to our company-paid life insurance plan - once for a spouse, twice (including today) for an employee.

It's not that it's that hard to do -- I started the process online and just need to wait for a death certificate from the widow. But it's still a bummer. In fact, I started the process just before the widow called to see what benefits he had, so at least I feel like I did the right thing by starting the process.

Sorry, y'all. Just venting. Carry on.

That is a tough assignment, but you are providing a benefit that is important to the family.

I'm sorry, Spiff - that's rough.

Hugs, Spiffy

Had an employee have a heart attack last night. Hospital's deemed him to be brain dead, and the wife is about to pull the plug.

Don't believe it's COVID-19 related.

Reading this it hit me that filing the the life insurance claim for my brothers insurance was was satisfying. In part because it was something I could actually do. It made me want to do it as fast as possible and his daughters didn’t have to do anything but sign the forms.and now I’m tearing up a bit.
