One of my best friends lost her best friend who was basically her soulmate and sister (Z) about 10 months ago. Somedays I know she's still struggling over the fact (especially bc we were all due to graduate together last month) but other days she sounds and looks so happy. Her birthday is coming up soon and I thought I'd give her something related to Z (she loves talking about her and remembering her) but now I'm second-guessing myself because what if it just makes her sad/gives her a constant reminder that she's no longer with us and reminds her of her grief over everything? My questions are:- Is it insensitive to gift someone something that references our late friend? I knew Z, and her death was heartbreaking and really affected me but it was nothing compared to how my friend felt so I'm struggling to put myself in her shoes (and also because I wasn't as close with Z maybe I'd be overstepping?) My idea was to try and recreate a line art of her favourite people similar to this but on a tote or scarf or mug idk and it would include Z obv.- If it is insensitive, what would be a good gift that would help? Knowing that she's had a particularly difficult year? What gifts have you received when grieving that helped you? All ideas are welcome because I still haven't fully settled on that one ^Thanks in advance all <3 I posted this under grief support but haven't gotten any replies so if anyone here has been dealing with grief and can answer this more specifically that'd be awesome via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/hmd5n0/gifts_to_help_with_grief/?utm_source=ifttt
