People don't always remember what you said to them or gave to them but
they do remember how you made them feel. When you want to make them
understand how much you care, a sympathy gift basket can make that
statement without your having to say a word.
Oftentimes, the bereaved are
overwhelmed with flowers, food, and condolences before and during a
funeral. But when the flowers have died, the food has been eaten, and
the friends have all gone home, a gift from you is like a hug that
whispers "I'm still thinking of you!" So, even though you may send your
condolences at the time of the funeral, don't forget to follow up with a
sympathy gift a few weeks or even a month later.
The anniversary of the death
of a loved one, a wedding anniversary, birthday, or any other special
time that was spent together can be a particularly sad time for the one
left behind. These are occasions to show how much you care--even if
it's only a card reminding them that they are in your thoughts.
