My Dear Active Rain freinds,

I was following up with some clients of mine; for one lady I found an apartement and she gave me a deposit on it and for some reason both the client and the landlord backed out on the rental, so I promised her I would find some thing for her. After 2 days, I called to let her know that I found a place after giving her the area where she said "The place is near the cemetery and I don't like it," So I looked for more places, and honestly didn't find any in the area she wanted so I called her yesteday after a week to see if she found something and be in touch ,the husband who was separated from her picked up the phone, after all the greetings I asked if she was around and found an apartment. The husband paused a little and said " No she didn't and she passed away last week". Oh my God I felt the whole office was spinning around and couldn't control myself and started crying and said how sorry I was....

Long story short..... I felt beyond terrible. I knew she was a little sick for a long time but wasn't expecting it this much.

Well my heart really goes to the people that have losses and I/WE don't know them.

Your Fellow Active Rain Friend,

Sharona

That's sad and eerie. Life is precious. Be grateful for each moment and opportunity to show appreciation and love to others.

Oh! That must've been just awful. Yes, life is precious. We must live everyday as if it is our last.

I've had more than one client pass away while we were doing business over the years. It's always a reminder to live each day to the fullest.

Sharona, how awful for you. We have had clients, we were emailing and then suddenly never hear from them. I just send a little note telling them, I hope everything is okay. since I always wonder if something had happened to them.

I know the feeling. I had an older lady come in from out of stae. Showed her homes one day. She did not care for any of them so I set up a time to show her others. I did not hear from her and kept on trying for a few weeks. Finally called the person that sent her to me to see if I had offended her or something. No she was in the hospital dying.....

I know how sad and I hope the family is doing well. I was getting ready to schedule a closing for a refinance several years ago and same thing... I finally got a hold of one of the family members and they let me know that she had passed away.

I did have a man pass the day after a closing and his wife called and of course she couldn't make payments whe was a housewife with no outside employment. She wanted to know if she could undo the whole process. It was heartbreaking to tell her no.
