Im sure this seems crass.
This will probably be Mum's last Christmas, she's living with incurable pancreatic cancer.
It seems dumb to be buying gifts that she might never use, or to carry on as normal... but i really want to gift something super meaningful.
I dont want to be too morose, but has anyone experience of gifting something or receiving a good gift in similar circumstance, for a birthday or other occasion?
Yes, my time & company are a-given.
If i sewed her something to wear... she could wear it now and for the last part of her earthly journey, perhaps?
What do people wear for cremation/burial - is it too morbid to think of this type of gift?
Maybe i mean... is there anything I shouldnt consider...?
I dont know what i mean...
:-(
