His death did impact his people. For one thing, when he died, he didn't assigned someone to be the leader after him, and they had to fight each other who would be leader after him. Some said it should be his grandson, other disagreed, and others wanted to chose someone that they saw fit to fill his shoes. From that many conflict eroded, such as the death of Hussein, the grandson, and the creation of several sect. The Sunni, the Shia etc.
They wouldn't use the word worship him, because they worship only Allah, although from what they do if someone is accused of insulting them! they accuse them for insulting Islam and their prophet. Fact. Check the news.
Sadly, they don't see it as a negative, when they say his message didn't change since his time. Muslims! people change, and so does how we live our life, and how we should rule. That is why, they say Muslims are stuck in time, unable to change or move forward. I don't think it is completely true, and if Islam doesn't change, at least a little, that is a negative.
I 'll give you example. Ramadan. A person can't eat from sun up till sun down. At Muhammad's time, they were all around Arabia. Now what if a person lives in the North Arctic, where the sun remain up for months! then this person for sure well die. just one example. look in your religion, you will find many more that should be adjusted for today.

His death did impact his people, because when he died, he didn't appoint someone to take his place, and his people had to deal with themselves to find the right person to take over. You have to know at that time whatever they wanted to do, they came to him and asked for his judgment. They live by his word, and whatever he said, it was the law, and when he died, everything was in the air, and they didn't know what to do, and they fought each other, and many died over who will be their leader.
The Muslims here want to paint you a picture of cooperation and easy transition from the leadership of their Prophet to the next one, and that is not what happened, if that was true! then why are the Sunnis and the Shias are killing each other today, and each one is call the other not a real Muslims? The prophet own grandson had his head chopped off along with his supporters, because the Muslims were fighting over power. They did it in the past, and they are still doing it today, and will ever after.
Check this quote:" "O people, verily whoever worshipped Muhammad, behold! Muhammad is indeed dead. But whoever worships God, behold! God is alive and will never die."
And then he concluded with a verse from the Qur'an:
"And Muhammad is but a Messenger. Many Messengers have gone before him; if then he dies or is killed, will you turn back upon your heels?" [3:144] "
They worshipped him, but these days they don't call it that. They call it love him. They love him so much that they will do anything in his name. They name all their kids by his first name. They like to dress like him, color their hair, or beard like him, red, dress like him, even their national flag is green like his favorite coat, green. They live by his words. WIth all the wrong he did, and I believe he did some good as well, but he did many wrong. War, killing etc. They still see him as a perfect person. Sorry, Muslims, he maybe was a good man to you, but he is far from perfect. No disrespect to you, after all as you say he was a human being, a man, and we all make mistakes and wrong things. Some of us more than others, and he is no different. That is How he is/was wordhipped or as they prefer to call it loved By his people, in the past, as well as today, as well as his message being carried out today. His message is, he wanted and his people now took over to convert the world into Islam, to bring to Islam and to worship only Allah and no other. Some Muslims do believe to live and let live, while others want everyone to convert to Islam, because they believe it is the only true religion, and if you are not one, then you are living the wrong religion.

"How is/was Mohammed worshipped by his religion?"
this is not christianity, we don't worship our prophet, but we worship God (Allah) alone, to him belong everything. and Muhammad made it very clear that he is the servent, slave of God, who happend to be sent by God to spread the word "there is no god but Allah to be worshiped".
and God already knows what may happen to muslims after Muhammad death, so he already warned them:
[144] Muhammad (peace be upon him) is no more than a Messenger, and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels (as disbelievers)? And he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allâh; and Allâh will give reward to those who are grateful.
Quran 3:144

we don't worship prophet Muhammad (pbuh) we worship God.
the Prophet's death was a sad day for the entire Muslim Umma/nation as he was so loved by them. after his death the Muslims voted for a new leader to lead the nation and by majority they elected his dearest companion Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) then later after Abu Bakr's death the Prophet's cousin Ali ibn Abi Taleb took control.
the message of Islam is still carried out today by the followers as the concept of a caliphite is no more.

The Prophet's closest Companion, Abu Bakr, was not present when the Holy Prophet (peace be on him) breathed his last in the apartment of his beloved wife of later years, Aisha, Abu Bakr's daughter. When he came to know of the Prophet's passing, Abu Bakr hurried to the house of sorrow.
"How blessed was your life and how beatific is your death,"
he whispered as he kissed the cheek of his beloved friend and master who now was no more.
When Abu Bakr came out of the Prophet's apartment and broke the news, disbelief and dismay gripped the community of Muslims in Medina. Muhammad (peace be on him) had been the leader, the guide and the bearer of Divine revelation through whom they had been brought from idolatry and barbarism into the way of God. How could he die? Even Umar, one of the bravest and strongest of the Prophet's Companions, lost his composure and drew his sword and threatened to kill anyone who said that the Prophet was dead. Abu Bakr gently pushed him aside, ascended the steps of the lectern in the mosque and addressed the people, saying
"O people, verily whoever worshipped Muhammad, behold! Muhammad is indeed dead. But whoever worships God, behold! God is alive and will never die."
And then he concluded with a verse from the Qur'an:
"And Muhammad is but a Messenger. Many Messengers have gone before him; if then he dies or is killed, will you turn back upon your heels?" [3:144]
On hearing these words, the people were consoled. Despondency gave place to confidence and tranquility. This critical moment had passed. But the Muslim community was now faced with an extremely serious problem: that of choosing a leader. After some discussion among the Companions of the Prophet who had assembled in order to select a leader, it became apparent that no one was better suited for this responsibility than Abu Bakr. A portion of the speech the First Caliph gave after his election has already been quoted in the introduction.
As the news of the Prophet's death spread, a number of tribes rebelled and refused to pay Zakat (poor-due), saying that this was due only to the Prophet (peace be on him). At the same time a number of impostors claimed that the prophethood had passed to them after Muhammad and they raised the standard of revolt. To add to all this, two powerful empires, the Eastern Roman and the Persian, also threatened the new-born Islamic state at Medina.
Under these circumstances, many Companions of the Prophet, including Umar, advised Abu Bakr to make concessions to the Zakat evaders, at least for a time. The new Caliph disagreed. He insisted that the Divine Law cannot be divided, that there is no distinction between the obligations of Zakat and Salat (prayer), and that any compromise with the injunctions of God would eventually erode the foundations of Islam. Umar and others were quick to realize their error of judgment. The revolting tribes attacked Medina but the Muslims were prepared. Abu Bakr himself led the charge, forcing them to retreat. He then made a relentless war on the false claimants to prophethood, most of whom submitted and again professed lslam.
The threat from the Roman Empire had actually arisen earlier, during the Prophet's lifetime. The Prophet had organized an army under the command of Usama, the son of a freed slave. The army had not gone far when the Prophet had fallen ill so they stopped. After the death of the Prophet the question was raised whether the army should be sent again or should remain for the defence of Medina. Again Abu Bakr showed a firm determination. He said, "I shall send Usama's army on its way as ordered by the Prophet, even if I am left alone."
The final instructions he gave to Usama prescribed a code of conduct in war which remains unsurpassed to this day. Part of his instructions to the Muslim army were:
"Do not be deserters, nor be guilty of disobedience. Do not kill an old man, a woman or a child. Do not injure date palms and do not cut down fruit trees. Do not slaughter any sheep or cows or camels except for food. You will encounter persons who spend their lives in monasteries. Leave them alone and do not molest them."
Khalid bin Waleed had been chosen by the Prophet (peace be on him) on several occasions to lead Muslim armies. A man of supreme courage and a born leader, his military genius came to full flower during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr. Throughout Abu Bakr's reign Khalid led his troops from one victory to another against the attacking Romans.
