I did the same and proceed to do my work but when we have time later on we talked a little more about it.

No. That's a situation where the lines blur between professional and personal. What you did seems reasonable

@BeefySenpie Thank you. I'm pretty aloof in general, and in these situations I'm especially awkward.

@DreamyCrush You did a lot better than I would have done. I'm not good with crying people and I'm not (with very few exceptions) a hugger). 👏

These things are very tricky; as there’s a fine line between showing concern and going too far.

@sciguy18 Thank you. You're right, it's hard to gauge. I just try to think of how I'd feel if the roles were reversed.

Depends.. If the co-worker was male i would stay and offer more comfort and support.. If it was a woman i would restrict my forms of comfort to a verbal statement and then withdraw..
It has nothing to do with being warm or cold but being careful in a woke world of politically correct woman who can destroy you with one allegation of inappropriate touching.. Men have to be on guard around western woman these days..

Probably quite similarly. Those in grief certainly need comfort nd we should be forthcoming in that regard. But, I think, they also need some distance and solitude.
I wud just sit after offering water & let them clean their eyes.

You handled yourself professionally and in a caring manner.

You handled the situation perfectly.

What you did sounded like exactly the right amount.
