Is there an approiate gift for the relative of a person who died?

The Mother of a friend of my BEST friend just died. My friend is calling me to vent and relieve stress. I habve met the friend once, but never the mother. I sent flowers when she was hospitalized, but is there anything other than a card I can send to the friend?

The best thing you can do is to support your friend that way they can help support their friend in this time of need. If you are decent at cooking wait for a week then take over a couple of easy to reheat but nutritious food dishes. It is usually for the first week that people help out then they stop. Also if there are any young children involved then getting them a small durable toy will also help since it will help them be distracted and be something for them to remember later in life.

Reply:send a plant to the house it will let them know your still thinking of them and it isn't too over personal. my sister's EXmother in law just lost her mom and thats what we did. it says we are sorry and care, but doesn't mkake it over personal.
Reply:just be the ear. that's one of the best things you can do. no gift can take away the grief. just having some one to listen to them is a lot of help... may i also suggest a site called griefnet.org. they help people who have lost a loved one.... stick by her you may need her some day....
Reply:Maybe take her something baked. Some cookies or a cake. Or even a casserole of some kind. Or offer to take her to lunch or something.
Reply:I would make her some sort of food, because she's obviously goign to be distraught over the whole ordeal and not going to want to do anything.
Reply:A card would do really good, and some flowers too.
Reply:A card should be sufficient.
