Sympathy Flowers

I think almost all of us would have faced some or the other “hardship” in our life, and some of us may even have received sympathy flowers from someone. Be it, either losing our job or meeting an accident. At that point we are so depressed that our thinking becomes quite negative.

Wouldn`t it be nice if some people sent you sympathy messages, at that time, when we are probably going through a difficult time. I think most people will agree but the problem is, we are really at a loss for words when writing a sympathy message. I think that`s when sympathy flowers come in handy. Flowers are probably the most beautiful expression of our thoughts. They are the perfect medium for expressing our feelings. So, I would highly recommend sending in a few sympathy flowers with your sympathy cards. Even if, you convey a sympathy message, sending flowers along with your message, works wonders to lift the mood of your friend, who is suffering.

People tend to smile instantly, seeing a flower. So, I would believe that sending sympathy flowers is definitely worth it. Even in ancient times, flowers were used as a medium to express a feeling of sympathy towards others. Sending flower bouquet is a way, to let those who've lost someone know that you care.

These flowers really help us during times when we are totally bereft of words. I recall one such incidence. I took some “White Dendrobium Orchids”, along with me, when I went to meet a close friend, who had met an accident. I didn`t really know, what to tell her… I was in a shock, myself. At that time, those flowers really helped me to convey my feelings. As soon as I gave those flowers to her, I noticed a “twinkle” in her eyes. That moment still remains precious for me. I am glad that I could bring a smile on her face when, she most needed me.

When is it too late to send sympathy flowers?

Some people think that it maybe too late for them to send sympathy flowers. While, I recommend getting a flower arrangement done, as soon as you hear the news… I think you can send them anytime within a week. Moreover, if you are not able to reach the suffering person immediately after hearing the news, due to any unavoidable circumstances, it would be a good idea to send them a bouquet of sympathy flowers. This will show your concern to them.

I think you would know that losing someone is probably the toughest time a person or a family, has to go through. During that time, every bit that you do for them counts and, is actually worth its weight in gold. You should not under-estimate the effect, few sympathy flowers have in easing the pain of those mourning, if only by a little. Let the bereaved know, that you are by their side during this phase and sympathy flowers are a wonderful way to do exactly that. What words cannot say, those flowers seem to do almost instantly.

I can go on and on about the importance of sympathy flowers but I guess, you have got the point. So, if you are in doubt whether to take a few sympathy flowers along, then my advice would be to definitely take a bouquet…or, organize a flower arrangement of some sort.
