Should I get her something for Mothers Day ?

My loved one's mother passed away 2 nights ago. Is it a good idea to give her something for Mother's Day or should I pass this time. I'm afraid if I give her something like even a Mother's Day card or flowers, it will remind her of her mother. By the way, Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers that are reading this. Thanks for your help and advice. God Bless Y'all!

    How sad. I remember when my friend lost her mother she said she felt like an orphan....all alone suddenly in the world. Think about it when your sick or confused or wanting to share news you run to mom. I think it will comfort your friend to know you are thinking of him/her and the mother. It is always comforting to know someone cares that you are hurting. Your a good friend to think of her/him at this painful time and I think you should follow your heart and listen to that little voice inside you without second guessing yourself.

    It's going to be a hard Mother's Day for her, without a doubt. But I think if you didn't get her anything, that would make it harder. Get her something to show that you care about her, are thinking about her, and are sensitive to her pain.

    Maybe the Hallmark stores have a card specifically for a situation like this. You never know...it couldn't hurt to ask a sales clerk for a recommendation.

    If there isn't a card with a message that suits you, maybe you could write an additional note on a card, saying something like, "I think you are a great mom to your kids, and I believe your mom is smiling down on you today from heaven" or something along those lines, depending on how you think she'd receive a message like that (you know her personality and religious beliefs, presumably).

    Or you could say something like, "I know today is a difficult day for you, and I'm here for you if you need to talk or just hang out. You are special to me, and I care about you very much."

    I'm just trying to put myself in your position. I would probably get something anyway, but not a huge thing, something small and intimate. Then I'd spend the day with her and let her know what a great mother she is. I'd also talk about all the good things I remember about her mom and (if it's true, maybe she's nothing like her mom) how she is similar to her and how her life on earth is over, but wasn't wasted because she produced such a wonderful daughter that you met, fell in love with and married. If you are a Christian also remind her that one day you'll reunite.

    Absolutely and without a doubt give her something. At this point she is thinking about her mother non stop anyway so there's no getting around that. She needs all the loving care you can give her. Don't worry about the exact details. She will appreciate your loving concern for her at this awful time in her life.

    Sure. Get her a card and plan a simple meal (or pick up some KFC)and have a little picnic. (Even in your own back yard). This way she can talk if she feels like it. I lost my mother a while back and I know how your wife is feeling. I'm sorry for your loss.
