my Condolences. Sorry to hear this tragidity.

"問題是, 朋友能向公司要賠償金/撫恤金, 或其他形式的補償類資金嗎? " --- Maybe. an experienced lawyer could be very helpful. no "免費谘詢律師" please !!

My former boss passed away years ago because of Depression & office politics. I am still suffering from that painful loss ......

I have been laid-off many times and life was better after each layoff.
