Even the smallest kind gesture can brighten the day of a person in mourning. If you'd like to let a grieving friend or loved one know that you're thinking of them during their difficult time, consider sending them a touching gift or a colorful bouquet of flowers.
Remember: funerals aren't the only time we should think to send flowers and gifts to those suffering from a loss. It sometimes takes people months or even years to heal from the pain of losing a loved one. Offer your grieving loved ones a comforting gift on those days that may be especially difficult for them. For example, send a bouquet of flowers to a friend on the birthday of her passed loved one or give a wedding anniversary gift to your uncle who lost his wife. These thoughtful gifts can remind grieving people that they are still surrounded by friends and family who love and care about them.
