Forlorn Friend: How to show them that you care

by EPI Staff on February 15, 2010

Q: The father of a woman in my exercise class died, and the group is making a charitable donation in his name (as requested by the family, in lieu of flowers).  But I’d also like to do something personal for my friend.  What do you suggest?

A: A handwritten sympathy note is a great way to let her know you’re thinking about her.  If you wish to give a thoughtful gift, then a meal, a plant, or a picture frame for her favorite photo of her dad would be appropriate.
