What show of sympathy can I send, long distance to a friend diagnosed with terminal cancer?
My half sisters grandparent, and confidant while I was growing up has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. What is the proper etiquette if I want to send something to show this person that they mean/meant something in my life. I think sending a "Sorry you are dying" bouquet would be both disturbing and tacky, but I want to demonstrate that I care even though I am far away and we have been out of touch. Any suggestions?
You didn’t mention if the grandparent was a male or female.I suggest that writting a heartfelt note to the person would be a great way to communicate with them.If it’s a female,write the note and maybe send some feminine things to her as in tolietries.Maybe some lotion,stationary and stamps,some nice soap, bath powder,just something to make them feel good about themselves.I agree,flower’s are not the thing to do.They have little books out called Chicken soup for the soul.They cover many topics and are quite comforting.Just a thought.That might be nice to include.Hope you find this helpful.
