It’s hard to put into words the wave of disbelief and sadness that hits you when you hear news like this — that someone as radiant, kind-hearted, and full of life as Belma is no longer with us. Just reading the words feels surreal. For those of us who had the privilege of working with her, it’s more than just a loss — it’s a heartbreak that cuts deep.
Belma wasn’t just a coworker; she was a light in every room she walked into. There was a spark in her presence — an energy that made even the most stressful days feel manageable. Whether she was offering a helping hand, sharing a genuine laugh, or simply listening with her full attention, she brought an undeniable warmth and brightness to our workplace.
She had a way of making people feel seen, heard, and valued. You didn’t have to know her long to feel like you had known her forever. Her positivity was contagious. Even on days when everything seemed to go wrong, Belma found the silver lining. She lifted others when they were down and celebrated their wins like they were her own. She worked hard, but more than that — she worked with heart.
It’s devastating to imagine walking into work and not seeing her smile. It’s devastating to think the world will go on without her in it, when she had so much more to offer — so many more people to touch, so many more memories to make. The silence her absence leaves is heavy.
What makes this loss even harder is how sudden and unexpected it feels. We weren’t ready. We had no idea that our last conversation, our last shared moment, would actually be the last. If we had known, we would’ve held on longer. We would’ve told her just how much she meant to us. How much her presence made our lives better.
This is a tragic reminder of how fragile life is — how quickly everything can change. It’s a reminder to never take people for granted. To say “thank you,” “I appreciate you,” and “you matter” more often. Because Belma did matter. To so many of us.
To her family and close friends — please know that she made a deep and lasting impact on her coworkers and extended professional family. We grieve with you. We remember her not only as a colleague, but as a vibrant, compassionate human being who left this world far too soon.
Rest in peace, Belma. Your light continues to shine in the hearts of those who knew you. You are missed beyond words. 💔
