Sympathy Wreath Basket
28/07/08 00:49 Filed in: Gift Tips
On the next unfortunate occasion when a sympathy gift is needed, create a gift that wreaths the bereaved in your love and empathy. When I give a bereavement basket, there are several things I like to include: a container that can be used as a keepsake trunk/box; flowers for the grave (often a wreath); photo frame or album for photos of the deceased; and a book of comfort. In addition, depending on the friend, I may also include a journal and pen, candles, coffee and gourmet foods, a garden stone, or other useful items linked to healing. In addition, handkerchiefs are usually included in baskets for women. I hope you’ll find this helpful as you reach out in love to help a friend heal after a loss.
