I had a coworker who passed from cancer some years ago. He never acknowledged it but he knew it was coming. When his time finally came his wife talked to the team leadership and invited all of us to the wake. I thought it was incredibly thoughtful of her to do so. We were all given a paid day off work and went to the wake and met people from his family and personal life. It seemed a little strange that even though many of us weren’t really part of his personal life, we were still part of at least some small part of his life nonetheless. I thought it was a really nice way of dealing with it.
