Would you send flowers? (sens)

I can't speak from personal experience, but I imagine that would be a lovely thing to do. It will obviously be on her mind and I think she would appreciate knowing that others were thinking of her/her partner as well.

Very close friend? I'd probably pick up the phone instead. If I were in her position it might seem a bit weird receiving things that marked such a sad event although appreciate others might feel differently.

A gift would be nice to show you haven't forgotten. I think some people can associate flowers with death and loss so perhaps I would avoid these.

Absolutely 100% let her know that you are thinking about her.

I would also urge you to remember next year, and the following anniversaries too. So many people consider you to be 'over' bereavement after a year, and it just sooo isn't the case for the majority of people (in my experience)

It's 'easy' to remember the first anniversary...it takes more of an effort to remember future ones.

Is she nearby? If so I think I would take her out for lunch or something. One of my best friends lost her close friend in a car accident eight years ago and I found out about it at Uni. The week before I asked if she wanted to do something to mark it and if I could help. So she went to the cemetery in the morning and then we went for lunch afterwards - she said it really helped.

I definitely think it's good to let her know that you're thinking of her though, very considerate - although I would be inclined to call rather than send something if you're not near enough to see her in person.

I sent the husband of my friend who died last year a card on the anniversary of her death, saying that I thought about her all the time and that I hoped him and the kids were OK.

Thanks for the replies. I live too far away to pop over so I think I'll send her a little something (although not flowers because of the connotations). I will of course speak to her just wanted to do something extra as I can't be there to give her a hug.

Honeslty I wouldn't send flowers as (in my opinion) they aren't very personal, unless they are ones you know she loves. I would send a card and a maybe a goft of something that will mean something to her, something thoughfull. Id also pick up the phone and have a chat with her about things and how she is getting on.?

My best friend remembers the day my Dad died even eight years on and each year I get a text or a little call on the day. It means so much that she cares enough to remember. I think any acknowledgement would be very thoughtful.
