I told my friend that if she meets her maker tomorrow, her employer will either hire someone else to do her job or give her duties to another person(s) at her office. Every employee is replaceable, and in the 21st century very few employers value long-term, loyal employees...I speak from personal experience on this.

I had a friend that I worked with and did not make it to retirement. She died on Thanksgiving Day last year preparing dinner alone (she was a widow for a very long time). She was 70 and I believe she was going to retire the following year. Her son found her dead on the kitchen floor. She died of a heart attack.
