Coworker's husband died
in 9 to 5
I pretty much work independently, but have one coworker who I occassionally work closely with. She is in her 60's, I am in my 20's, but we're fairly close. Her husband died this week - unexpectedly.
I sent a quick email response (she told me in email) saying that I was so sorry and asked her to let me know if there was anything I could do.
What should I do? I've never been in this situation before. Send flowers? Make food? I don't know where she lives to send anything, and don't want to obnoxiously send emails. I'm at a loss, but want to acknowledge it.

Our department is sending flowers (I found out after posting). I still want to do something, though, as we are coworker/friends too. I did get her address and will send a card. I may make muffins or a casserole as well.

When my grandfather passed away, the best thing for my grandmother was that people made and brought over food. She didn't have to cook for a week, and honestly, it's one of the last things on your mind to do.. and when the hunger finally does strike you don't have to urge to cook, even though you know you need to eat.
I think she also received a fruit basket, which was nice as well. Maybe someone that you work with could give you an idea of what would be best for her and her circumstances. Food worked well with my grandmother because my grandfather did most of the cooking.
When my dad passed away several co-workers sent sympathy cards in the mail which I found very thoughtful. My department got together and sent a gift basket full of comfort food which I also appreciated.
I would send her a card and write a genuine message expressing how sorry you are.
