[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 137507, member: 455"] [I][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=DarkRed]Those sound like really good ideas! We did try to make sure my mother always had a fresh bouquet of flowers (even if they were just supermarket flowers) in her house all week long as she loves flowers. She absolutely appreciated the "sunny" feeling of something living, and she loves fresh flowers too. Another thought for you is a simple plant she can "take care" of if you think she is up to it in the coming months to nurture. Something that might bloom so she can see it spring to life. My mother didn't want to attend a support group because she felt as though no one was "quite" in her situation. I never truly understood that at all. After about 10 months my mother felt she wanted companionship so desperately she looked into adopting a dog. This has been good for her and has helped her not feel so lonely and lost.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/I] [/QUOTE]
