Grief Gifts

Death is tough. And processing grief is difficult. So, when someone you love loses a loved one, you may not immediately know the best way to offer support in their time of need. However, one simple gesture may make all the difference. Consider giving them a gift to show you care. Here are some examples of the best gifts for someone who is grieving.

Blankets Make Great Grief Gifts

Insomnia is a common side effect of grief. So, consider offering your mourning friend or family member a weighted blanket or soft quit. If you can’t be there to hug them yourself, a fuzzy blanket could substitute. People who are grieving often spend a lot of time in bed and sleep on the couch. So, a soft cover can offer support and show that you care.

Diary

Writing records thoughts and feelings during the grieving process in a way that many find comforting. A journal may encourage them to process their emotions in a healthy way. Journaling offers a positive outlet for putting pen to paper that when certain emotions may be too difficult to voice.

Inspirational Books for Grief Gifts

• The Bible
• It’s OK that you’re not OK

Great Grief Gifts: Maid Service Gift Card

One of the last things someone who is in mourning wants to do is to clean up around the house. A gift card for maid service offers practical help. In lieu of scheduling the service, a gift card affords the recipient the opportunity to choose when they want to redeem the service. This is a great gift for someone with kids. Juggling grief with childcare can complicate grief. So, removing the worry about housework could effectively lighten their load.

Potted Plant for Grief Gifts

Flowers brighten someone’s day. But they die. Instead, consider purchasing a living plant. Displaying greenery around the house brings life to a space. However, just be aware that some plants require a lot of attention. So, consider purchasing a hearty plant. For example, succulents love sunlight and you do not need to water them often. Another option is to purchase a memorial tree. This is a great way to honor a grieving person’s lost loved one.
