[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 582928, member: 1233"] I am so sorry. The locket is a wonderful idea and you are right, flowers are absurd. in my opinion the only thing worse is a live plant. I lost a daughter when Wiz was 2. It was much earlier and what hurt almost as much were the people who acted like it was something to just forget. We never forgot. Never will. I didn't speak to my oldest childhood friend for several years because she had the audacity to say it was maybe a 'good thing' because I could finish my college degree and go to grad school. She apologized two years later or I would never have spoken to her again. We don't have much of a relationship because i just don't trust her. Can't Anyway, your GN and her husband willneed help. in my opinion if you wait another week or two everyone will be home and many will expect life to go on. GN is really going to need someone then, and if you can be there, it would be a great kindness. I stopped sending gifts at the time of a crisis and sent them a couple weeks later when I realized how alone I felt two weeks after when I was expected to be 'normal' for most intents and purposes. husband and I were both at sea. GN's husband needs support and may not yet realize it, but if you can help then, give them both some support, it would be the greatest kindness. I have received feedback from many people that the gift, sometimes a photo or note with a fond memory, a frozen meal, a gift card in a handmade card, something that makes me think of the person, send after the immediate rush of the crisis is over and reality is there, cold and harsh, is very much appreciated. One of husband's coworkers lost her mom suddenly, and the meal I sent three weeks after she came back to work, came on a day she just couldn't cope anymore. She said it let her know that the support was still there, and it helped a lot. It was just a frozen lasagna in a disposable pan, a bag of salad, some homemade dressing and store bought rolls, but it was the first non fast food meal they had since the funeral because she couldn't cook because it was what she often did with her mom (who lived with her). think about things you have enjoyed with GN. Forget the on Fred's side, that doesn't matter now. Family is who you love, period. Be there. Let her know she can talk to you, even when she thinks she has talked too much about this, because others are tired of listening. [/QUOTE]
