When someone you know loses a loved one, it's often difficult to know what to say - sympathy is a hard sentiment to articulate for most of us.
Because the right words are not easy to find, bereavement gifts can be a good way to express condolence.
Fortunately, there are many sites out there that can help with bereavement and sympathy gift advice. For example, Meaningful Bereavement Gift Ideas advises to stay away from flowers, as they will soon wither and die, providing a reminder of the loss.
Dave Wood Calligraphy Art Gallery has a range of unique calligraphy art prints that combine a beautiful artwork with comforting and insightful words to brig solace in times of mourning.
Do Not Stand
Lithographic print in Gold or Rosewood frame
A timeless traditional poem for a secular sympathy gift.Words read:
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Remember Me by Christina Rosetti
These sensitive words convey a special message at a time of great loss and sorrow.REMEMBER me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
