bad news for us

honey
By honey

At lunch time my husband called and gave bad news about our goodfriend in Kuala Lumpur that just died on friday last week.

 

I'm very sad, and ofcourse him. The guy converted to moslem when he got married with this Malay lady, so we guess he got moslem way of ceremony.

 

I feel that i have to give her something to express our care to the family. But i don't really know what to give..well we going to buy something online.

 

CAn you please help me to picture what should i send to them? thanks guys

their health, yes takin care of their health is very imp.   

 You cant do this if you are miles away

 

when my lil nephew died (sister's son), i had tough time taking care of my sister, my mother, her mother in law all were without food

In England instead of flowers we sometimes donate to their favourite charity.

For example when my Gran died we asked for money to go to the McMillan nurses who care for people dying of cancer.... they are angels.

Its a lovely tribute...

then money will help her otherwise its bit humiliating to give some one money. She lost her husband not lost her property.

 

Try to find out if  the deceased was in debts, then money will really help her to clear his debts.

 

I will find it very offensive if some one offers me money.  We usually provide cooked food for several days this is islamic way

 

Since you are far away a phone call will also help her

I think pm is right on the mark here.

 

It is always best to send a widow money (that you would have spent on the flowers)

 

I am sure it will be much appreciated and better used. Flowers die after a week ya know.

Sorry to hear sad news.... May Allah bless his soul and forgive his sins !

Flowers are not a good idea .... i suggest to write them a condolance letter and attach a a cheque if you can ... otherwise a phone call is enough and later you can send money thru TT or Chq. to support the family.

may god bless his soul .

send  ur condolence with some sympathy  flowers

 

 Sympathy flowers can be sent as soon as you hear about the death or can be sent on the day of the funeral service itself.  Sending sympathy flowers to the relatives home is often done as mark of respect and to show the family concerned that you are thinking about them at a very difficult time.  Funeral flowers are generally sent on the day of the service.  It is very important to make sure the funeral flowers are sent by at least a couple of hours ahead of the funeral service.  Sympathy flowers can also be sent after the funeral itself, to let the family know that just because the funeral service has already happened, you are still thinking of them.  There are no rules to sending funeral and sympathy flowers, it is always the thought that counts.

 

this is just for your concern
