What do I do for my boss who his mother just passed away?

OK so my boss is SUPER cool! We work in Phoenix and his family is out in Fresno California. He is there now dealing with the matter of her passing and following out her last wishes. He will be back to work sometime next week and I feel as though I should do something for him. He seems so sad even through email and that is so not him. I want to reach out and just hug him, would that be wrong? Should I get a card no flowers of course hes a man and its not his funeral but I feel now a days a card my be concidered ok at the time and just a bothersome after the fact and he is back here moving on with his life again. If any of you have had this situation or anything like it and can give me some advice I would really appreciate it. I want him to feel a little bit better when he is here next week but I dont want to push it on him like a bomb or anything.





PLEASE help me out here!!!

You could send a Dish garden, Fruit basket, Fresh cut flowers...and they all could include a card offering your condolences. If the funeral has already passed, go with the dish garden if it will be sent to the office. The fresh flowers are appropriate for the funeral. The fruit basket to the home.
Reply:Since it%26#039;s your boss really the only right thing would be a card. Anything else can seem a little odd. Really you should have sent flowers to the funeral, and then give him a sympathy card when he gets back. You can get a nice arrangement for pretty cheap well cheap meaning about $50 or so. If the flowers are too costly for you then just stick with the card and write a little note in there saying how sorry you are and if there%26#039;s anything you can do let you know. Good luck and I%26#039;m sorry to hear about his loss.
Reply:You and an group of co-workers have a nice plant waiting on his desk when he returns, and tell him in a nice card that you are all thinking of him, and very sorry for the loss of his Mother.
Reply:just give your sympathy or condolence.
Reply:What you do for your boss is to do your job super well and do not let him come back to an unorganized mess. By the time he is back he will be anxious to get back to business. Have everything ship shape for his return. If you have been emailing him, he already knows you feel bad for his loss. Do not get all mushy! And do not hug him! Simply say%26quot;It is good to have you back%26quot;.
Reply:Always talk nicely your boss, if there%26#039;s any problem at the work site that your boss should know about you should say it in a soft way. Go to his mothers funeral, that will work
Reply:get him the %26quot;it sucks that your moms dead card%26quot;
Reply:A single lovely flower in a small vase along with a suitable card would show him that you respectfully are showing your sympathy. Men like to receive flowers under certain circumstances and providing they are not too feminine.
Reply:a hug would be nice along with an I%26#039;m so sorry for your loss but if you have not missed the funereal send a plant to it with all your sympathy you may also let him know that you are always there if he just needs to talk completely confidential of course some time we all need to blow of steam after something like this good luck
