Neighbours son died (nrly 6wks ago) and i didnt know until today

[hertsnessex]

What should I do?

His son was ill with cancer, he wasa around 19/20. We are quite friendly with them, DH helps him with legal stuff etc, but as they live behind us, we don;t get to 'see' them alot.

i knew before xmas his son was ill, but he just called to spk with dh and i asked after his son and he said he died 6wks ago.

i dont want to do nothing, but do i send a card/flowers now?

i feel i should, but what do you think?

[NAB3wishesfor2008]

I would.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

a card definitely would be thoughtful

[TheFallenMadonna]

I would too.

[Twiglett]

definitely a card

grieving is a process .. so there isn't a time limit to offering condolences ... any form of help you feel willing to offer might be appreciated .. now and in a year's time

[CarGirl]

a card and perhaps a shrub/young tree (sapling?) to plant in their garden?

[hertsnessex]

tree is a great idea. we often talk about the gardens.

will get that sorted asap.

thank you
