Thanks. She though did talk about the topic and even about her mother-in-law who just passed away. To me she didn't seem especially upset and the question "how are you" wasn't intruding in any way. Also, she introduced the topic, she told much more than she needs, she could have just said something like "something personal came up and I need a couple of weeks off" or similar.

Expecting some thank you right now is tone deaf to her need probably just for space from the topic. Grieving takes time, and sometimes people just need space.
