Nobody even thought to send flowers or a card to the funeral home until I came in after 2 days off and bought a card for everyone to sign. Now we are taking up a collection and sending flowers to her home. Is there anything else we should be doing besides just being there for her? Her husband was Muslim, as well as her children and she's Catholic. By the way, I'm atheist and have forgotten all the rules and priorities of religion.

I'm an atheist too and isn't it strange how us atheists are the ones to be thoughtful first. I find this at my office too. But that is beside the point, I think what you are doing is the right thing and she is lucky to have a co-worker who is caring.

I think that you have done a perfect show of support and friendship to your co-worker. You really aren't required to do anything more than give your warmest sympathies for her loss and be a compassionate co-worker, unless you were close friends. I think that it's excellent you made the effort to be consoling and comforting for her and, indirectly, for her family, too.
Don't worry or get too caught up in the idea of doing something on religious grounds. I am not religious at all and I believe that you showed a great amount of both respect for her and her situation and compassion to her.

For some reason this little person came into the world to make a big impact on the people he did, including you. I would think heavy on that one.
