Posted August 20, 2019 Hunter, I am sure if you talk very nicely to 2Big, he might help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2019 Hunter, if you are in the DTC area, I really like the florist in the shopping center on the northwest corner of Arapahoe and Yosemite (where Sprouts is). They are great and can help with anything. Home owned too, not a chain. Here is a link: https://www.arapahoefloral.com/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 23, 2019 Please, make it sure your friend likes cut flowers first. I hate them, and become sad as they die. Maybe, beautiful orchids that last for years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My comments were not for you, but for Hunter whom actually started the thread. Well, hopefully you really know her as well as you think..... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hunter probably knows her friend just as well. Learned a very long time ago to never assume that everyone likes or dislikes the same things I do. Best to ask. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes , the orchids will slowly bloom for months. Try to find some with 2 flowering stems. With a little care, they can bloom for years. Some people don't have green thumbs though. 11 hours ago, Raine-7379 said: Not everyone wants flowers or 100 meals they have no room for. Well instead of sending meals, a gift card to a nice restaurant. This way they can go out when they want and also have no clean up or dish to return. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 28, 2019 "This will pass." - @Seeker5280 Sadly this will never pass. The tragic loss of her child is a horror that she will relive daily, it never goes away. - I concur with the live plants vs flowers, as I also don't like to see the memory of that day wither away. However I would never disapprove of someone else's choice of how they wanted to honour the deceased. After the service we gifted the cut flower arrangements to the funeral home to use for those in need. - As for the overabundance of casseroles, it always baffled me why everybody would donate food at the same time. No household can eat that much food in one week, and it all goes bad at the same time. My mom insisted on us bringing food to grieving families a week afterwards. My family lost their home and their child at the same time so there was nowhere to bring casseroles. Instead of food folks donated gift cards to grocery stores and prepaid visa cards so we were able to buy the food ourselves. Also, prepaid visa and gift cards won't keep a hearty chunk of the donation like a fundme program, if that matters to you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The memories are never gone, but over time become less painful and the reminders less frequent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
