To give angel wings candle to friend

I'm keeping it brief as to not be outed.

A valued friend informed me a few days ago that she has had a miscarriage. She has mentioned she would like it marking, but has no idea what to do.

I'm seeing her in the next couple of weeks and thought about taking an angel wings candle for her - not to be the marker or anything, just really a little support gift.

I'd hate to upset her or to do something inappropriate/tactless/tasteless. Her and her partner know I'm always there for a rant/problem share etc.

Please let me know your thoughts

One thing about flowers - they wither and die. They do convey 'thinking of you kindly' very well and that may well be the only thing anyone reads into them. Flowering plants can be a nice alternative but can also feel like a bit of a burden, as you have to look after them, even if you don't really know how, or have space for them. Then they often die, or fail to flower again, too.

I think it's very thoughtful and it sounds as though she would love it. The fact that you are being considerate and caring is lovely.
