When words alone can't express your compassion
and regret, sending someone sympathy flowers
or an elegant sympathy basket or plants in a solemn time can
be a kind and thoughtful way of expressing sympathy for someones
loss or grief. Extend a kind gesture to someone today by letting
them know you care.
Tips on Offering Comfort to Someone who Is Grieving
Support Feelings: To show you care
listen to the bereaved without interrupting them or offering
advice. Often just sharing memories and talking about
their loved one can help them feel better.
Give Affection: At the appropriate
time it's okay to embrace your friend or family member,
hold their hand, or simply put an arm around their shoulder.
Write a Note: Sending a card with a
personal message from you can give a sense of shared sympathy
and connection.
Be Sensitive: Think of mourners around
the holidays -- they tend to miss their loved ones even
more around times of celebration with friends and family.
Being sypathetic to their feelings of loss will help them
be strong.
