I just heard that my cousin died yesterday.?

I'm not quite sure what to do, do I send flowers or a card or what.? We live 3000 kilometers apart , so there is no way I can go to her funeral

I just heard that my cousin died yesterday.?
There's no "proper" or "right" thing to do here.





*hugs*





Express your condolences as you feel is right. Your family 3000 km away will know that you are there giving your love and support - whether that's through a card, flowers, phone call, or however way you reach out to them - they will know you are there sending well wishes. It's not what you send or do...it's that you're doing and/or sending anything at all that will matter.





I'm sorry to hear about your loss. *hugs again*
Reply:one of my questions would be, were you two close? If you kept in close contact w/each other I would send flowers and a card to the family. I would send a card either way.
Reply:sorry for your loss. if the family is Jewish, do not send flowers (it is offensive). otherwise, flowers and a card would be a nice gesture





Your family knows how far you are and should understand that you can not make it
Reply:flowers and a sympathy card would be a very nice gesture.sorry for your loss.
Reply:I'm sorry to hear that. I would send a card with a written message. Flowers are also a nice gesture.
Reply:Yes, flowers and a card would be a very nice gesture since you can't be there in person. Or even a gift basket with the card would be nice. It could be a plant basket, a fruit basket, or something with snacks like cheese, ham, crackers, etc.
Reply:Ouch..Sorry bout that. she'll probably won't know what you bring her, but if it makes you happy.
Reply:Flowers and a card a definitely nice. Sincere condolences are what is most important.
Reply:You can send flowers or a note just to say hey I am here and I care
