<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I've been working at this job for about six months.  I'm a student working under a salaried supervisor and our "boss."  My question is pretty simple: what the hell do you say to someone whose husband passed away without warning?  She hasn't been in to work (and I work weird hours anyway) but the whole dynamic has shifted a lot.  The people who have worked with her a long time are busy helping her with arrangements, so I'm not sure whose example to follow.  Should I go to his funeral service?  Should I buy a card?  Should I ask my supervisor?  Everyone on the team donated to send her a gift, but I wasn't working at the time and missed the opportunity.

I feel so bad for her, but I don't really have much of a connection to anyone I work with (including her) so I don't know how to broach the subject, or if I need to.
<bot>: my boss's husband passed away unexpectedly.  How can I not come off as an ass, and help her if she needs it?*
