Be gentle and attentive to someone who has experienced a terrible setback. Adopting a business as usual attitude will rub salt into their wound. It isn't realistic to expect others to carry on after their world has been turned upside down. Offer some sympathetic words and be ready to listen. You don't have to fix the problem. Just being a kind presence in an otherwise indifferent world can be therapeutic. Don't worry about the rest of the group. People will carry on with their work without you.
