To drop of flowers for old boss at her first day back after husband died?

My old boss (lovely woman) had her husband die and going back to work tomorrow.

I sent her a sms a couple of weeks after the passing and donated to the charity in her husbands name.

Would it be weird if I drop of flowers and chocolates at her house (and not say hello)?

What would I write in the card.

She's obviously going to be thinking of her husband anyway once she arrives home!

She works from home. And yes she is but there's thinking and thinking.

I say this as someone who was widowed. My first week back if I was working I was fine but under the surface I was desperate for people not to ask or be nice to me about it or I would break. The problem is that EVERYONE dies it so your one nice thought is multiplied by twenty.

You end up desperate for people to bitch about their kids school or talk about their new puppy or anything normal.
