No doubt Lea Michele will never fully get over the death of Cory Monteith.

But it's nice to see she's doing her best to overcome the tragedy.

As you may have heard, Michele attended Jamie-Lynn Sigler's baby shower on Saturday at the Thompson Beverly Hills hotel.

"She was smiling and having a great time with her friends," a source now tells me.

Also in attendance were Lance Bass, JoAnna Garcia and Beverly Mitchell.

The menu for the afternoon bash, which took place inside Caulfield's Bar and Dining Room, included mimosas, pancakes, fried chicken and cake.

Michele tweeted on Thursday that she was back to work on Glee.

"First day of glee today..And at my first wardrobe fitting for Rachel Berry for Season Five!" she wrote. "I've missed her so much."

Monteith was found dead of a heroin overdose on July 13 in a Vancouver hotel room.

"The third episode will write Finn out of the show," FOX Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly revealed on Thursday. "That episode will deal directly with the incidents involved with Cory's passing and the drug abuse in particular."

Two weeks after Monteith's death, Michele broke her silence with a photo and message on Instagram on July 29.

"Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support," the actress captioned the sweet pic of her and Monteith in front of an ocean view. "Cory will forever be in my heart."

Stay strong, Lea.
