He was just 47. Writing on her Facebook page Monday, Sandberg linked to a [Huffington Post](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/laura-wellington-/the-exclusive-club-sheryl-sandberg-never-intended-to-join%5Fb%5F7244322.html) story by Laura Wellington about women who became widows at a young age. “Laura Wellington is right – this is a club that no one wants to join,” Sandberg [wrote](https://www.facebook.com/sheryl/posts/10155511667290177). “Laura, I am sorry for your loss – and my heart goes out to the many women around the world who have experienced this loss too. She added: “I learned from your advice and I am sharing it here so others can learn too. My condolences to you – and my gratitude.” Sandberg, 45, [will resume](http://www.people.com/article/sheryl-sandberg-returns-work-after-husband-death) her duties with Facebook this week, working on a modified schedule. She has also temporarily suspended work travel and will only work during the hours her children are in school.
