Gift for berevement counselor?

She is my therapist through Hospice bc I lost my son. Everything she does is free. The sessions,she went to the funeral home to make 3d sculptures of his hands/feet,brings me other things like scrapbook stukk,money gifts for me and the other kids,angel statue,all kinds of things. I want to give her a small gift. I have very little money. I dont want it to be too personal,just a small token. I know she does what she does bc its her job,but she has really gone out of her way. I was thinking not flowers. Any other ideas?

Wow, what special souls you both are. I'm so sorry for your loss. You are lucky to have someone like your counselor in your life and I'm sure just being able to help you is compensation enough.





She may feel uncomfortable if you spend money on her since she knows you don't have much. The best thing to do would be to find a nice card and write her a letter telling her everything you told us and more. Express how grateful you are for her comfort and support, and thank her. I'm sure she'd appreciate that from your heart much more than some trinket.





The next thing to do is "pay it forward." Ask her if you can volunteer with her or find some volunteer work that you are interested in. Your taking what she gave you and giving it to someone else with your touch added is the best form of payback.
Reply:God bless you, honey! Spread the love. Those women need you. Report It

Reply:If you don't want it to be flowers or anything too personal, how about a cookie basket or fruit basket?
Reply:First of all, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. This lady sounds like a real angel. Maybe an inexpensive angel statue. There is a line of figurines, they are called Willow Tree Angels. They are very symbolic and there are many different designs. They are very inexpensive. You can go to www.demdaco and search for willow tree. The "Guardian Angel" and " Angel of Healing" would be beautiful. God Bless and I hope this helped.
Reply:I think giving her a ceramic angel would be lovely. Or maybe a picture of your son in a picture frame. Or maybe make a CD of classical music or christian music. Or you know how you can make a calendar from your own pictures, make her a calendar. You can even make them on your own computer. Hopefully you have a color printer. Get some nice colored paper.





I hope that helps and I'm sorry to hear about your son's passing. I think she will enjoy any of these ideas.
Reply:Does she have kids too? Why not bake them a cake with their names written on them?
Reply:My thought's on that for a limited budget would be perhaps a thoughful card with a nicely written letter inside. SOmetimes that alone is more than enough.
