I need some help please. My grandfather passed away at the end of February. Him and grandma would've celebrated 58 years of marriage next Wednesday. I would like to send my grandma a card acknowledging the occasion, but an anniversary card just doesn't seem right for some reason.
Would you just send an "I'm Thinking of You" card? I was thinking this would be best, and then acknowledge the anniversary in my note inside. Grandma has Alzheimer's (although she does remember that grandpa is gone), and I want to be sensitive to not upset her. I don't know if she'll remember that it would've been their anniversary, but I still want to acknowledge the impact their boundless love had on how I treat my husband and our relationship.
Re: Help me know the right thing...
Thinking of you is a great idea...
Dont go into all the anniversary and relationship details...it may just confuse her.
Just tell her you are thinking about her and love her.
I think sending flowers is an excellent idea.... A simple thinking of you is fine.... like pp said I wouldn't go into the details of the anniversary though....
My grandmother had Alzheimer's too. I sent her flowers on certain dates.... just because.... she remembered my dad's birthday.... but she didn't remember that he passed away.... so it could be a little difficult so I see where you are coming from.
Sending Flowers Just Because = Great Idea.
Sara, Friend?
glove slap. I don't take crap.
DITTO!!!
