Basically... I am juggling emotions of being a sympathetic guy or a business man. Losing one month's revenue for me personally would be a tough thing to swallow after being caught in layoffs recently.
Thoughts?

You have to keep in mind that there may not even be a lot of funds in the estate to cover expenses. She was 26 and it is likely that she did not have life insurance. If there is a significant estate (ie. savings and investments, assets and life insurance) you can certainly put in a claim but if there is little to no funds you will just get put on a list of creditors and you will likely see no funds coming your way.
