Sheryl Sandberg has responded to the outpouring of questions about how people can pay tribute to her late husband Dave Goldberg, who collapsed and died May 2 while exercising at a gym on vacation. Sandberg, Facebook’s COO, posted on the questions website Quora, where she answered the “generous” and “kind” users who asked how they could best pay their respects.
She wrote that people who knew the SurveyMonkey CEO personally could post photos and memories on Facebook. Others could make time to have dinner with their families:
One friend also told me that he canceled a planned work dinner last night to have dinner with his kids instead. We always went around the table and each of us said our best and worst of the day. The family rule is that you have to have a best but a worst is optional. I think there is no better way for any man or woman to honor the memory of my beloved husband.
In her book Lean In, Sandberg talks about dinners as one way she and Goldberg managed to balance their family with their careers. The power couple would make the effort to leave the office early enough to share a meal with their children, and then would continue working afterward.
