subject: Grieving gifts [print this page] When one of your family members or friends are going through a difficult time and you want to help them then you should give them a gift that can make them feel good about themselves. Grieving gifts are gifts sent to people in order to ease them through a tough time. Examples of these tough times could be a death of a pet, death in the family, or any situation that causes hardship in ones life. You should be somewhat cautious when trying to give grieving gifts because this is a very emotional time in someone's life and sometimes people only look at negative things. Some people do not want other people to try and help them because these types of people like to get through things on their own. They may reject anything that you try and give them because they feel like they are not strong enough if they receive help from family and friends. If you are a family member or a really good friend then you can help them out of this tough time by sending grieving gifts that are truly meaningful. Trees for a Change, www.treesforachange.com, offers tree gifts where they go out and plant a tree in someone's name. The gift recipient gets a personalized card and also gets told the location of where the tree was planted. This is a very thoughtful gift because it shows your loved one that you care and it is also very good for the environment. Tree gifts are like naming someone after a star but when receiving a tree gift you can actually visit the forest in which your tree has been planted. You can feel a deeper connection with it because you are helping the environment that you live in. These are great grieving gifts because of the effect they have on the recipient when they learn about what they have just received.
