15 Sympathy Gifts
There's nothing you can send that will fix it — and the people who understand grief know you're not trying to. What you're really doing is showing up, in the only way you can from where you are, to say I know, and I'm here.
That's actually enough. The right sympathy gift doesn't need to be grand or clever. It just needs to feel considered — like you thought about this specific person, not just the occasion. And that thoughtfulness, more than anything you could spend, is what tends to stay with someone long after the hard days blur together. Everything here was chosen with that in mind.
