Giving a gift of remembrance doesn't have
to be complicated, according to Renee Wood, founder of The
Comfort Company, an online retailer of sympathy and
remembrance gifts. It can be as simple as sharing a memory or
sending a card.
"Holidays can be very painful for someone who is grieving,"
says Wood, a former neonatal intensive care social worker. "It's
important to understand how touching a gift or gesture of
remembrance can be."
Rob Anderson, whose son Brendon died five years, agrees. He
suggests buying a special ornament for the tree, donating a
gift in their loved ones honor or giving the gift of your time
and presence during the holidays. "Anything and everything
is appreciated," says Anderson. "The simple things are
the sweetest and don't take much effort."

holiday season, The
Comfort Company offers the following gift suggestions:
