'My Deepest Condolences' Gift Box
When someone you love looses a loved one....
You want to give them a special gift.
Not just a gift that looks pretty but a gift that comforts them. A gift that helps them mourn their loss while also seeing the way forward.
Do you already have a gift & want to connect with others inspired by the activity?
Share the gifts you uncovered!
See what gifts others have revealed from doing the journal activity!
If you're stuck in the process of grieving:
The passing of your loved-one is not a gift
It may even still feel shocking or hurtful
Especially if it was sudden and/or tragic
Carry on your deceased loved-ones' memory and message, in order to honor their life and help others
There's meaning, transformation, and purpose in actively working with your grief

I've known lots of grief in this life, but none as great as my dad's suicide. The shock, sorrow, & pain left behind is greater than any other grief I've known.
My Deepest Condolences Gift Box keeps my love for my dad alive in this world and flowing.
I hope this gift helps you and your loved ones.
Here what Susie felt upon receiving her gift
I received my Gift Box today and I must say that the very aroma wafting through the air gave me a sense of calm and well-being.
I have always wanted to journal my thoughts but I always felt so random, unsure how to begin.
I have a lovely book and now I believe I can begin a'Journaling' Journey.
The questions and activities posed in the little paper slip are designed to help us narrow down some of the reasons for our sense of loss and unfulfilled moments. Words not spoken and those we wish we never uttered.
I am so grateful to Celia for recommending this gift and group to me. I am ready to share my stories and listen to others.
Grief takes a different path for all of us. We must own it, face it and recognize that it doesn't control our lives as long as we embrace it with dignity.
I look forward to a very enriching new chapter in my life.

Would You Like To...
...see what gifts came through for others?
It can be fun and inspiring to read about the gifts that others revealed at the center of their grief.
Just be sure to stay out of comparison mode.
There are different stages of grief, different ideas, different articulation of deep inner understandings.
Without even knowing you, I can assure you the gift(s) you uncovered at the center of your grief, is of equal importance and value to this world as any other gift.
When a gift is revealed, authentically, you can rest assured it's part of your purpose. And no purpose, when authentic, is any less valuable than any other authentic purpose.
If you want to be sure you're getting the most out of your gift, that you're getting to the heart of your grief for your unique gift, book a call to see if session work is for you.

I was delighted by all the good that came through the writing and the tears. Lots of tears. The gifts that were revealed as I processed my deep sadness around my dad's death are to help raise awareness around taking greater care of our elderly loved-ones, and the risks of suicide in the elderly. Also, to do what scares me, as long as it's beneficial. To be kind, or quiet. To speak often about my imperfections so others know how normal imperfections are. To help dads and daughters strengthen their bond. And to continue my work, more than ever, to help people live authentically in their relationships. I'm so grateful for the ten journal prompts and what doing them brought out. I miss my dad so much. And will keep my love for him alive in this world.

"Very cathartic and inspiring"
Thank you for sending me your grief care package. Right away, the presentation of the pretty box was very inviting. It felt specially wrapped just for me. I love the simplicity, sweetness, and compassion that this made me feel. Meaning, there wasn’t a heaviness that can sometimes accompany a sympathy gift. I journaled my first question. Tears were flowing. Very cathartic and inspiring.

"I'm blown away"
I just opened your incredibly thoughtful gift, and did the first exercise. From the packaging to the NJ shell, I am blown away by the level of kindness in the details. Thank you so very much!

"This is so unique"
Got the sweet condolencesbox today. What a great idea Gina!!! I showed it to my husband too and he thought so as well! Often when I’m looking for something to send to a friend who has lost a loved one, I can’t find anything . This is so unique and would help a person as they process their grief!! I think you have a very marketable product! Loved the beautiful wrapped box too!!! Great idea Gina!!!!

KNOW SOMEONE WHO LOST A LOVED-ONE?
Whether it's recent or years ago, if you know someone who lost a loved-one, send them a gift to help.
This is a gift that they can use repeatedly for more than one loss.
It could be the loss of a parent, spouse, child, sibling, or friend.
Whether close or estranged.
Sometimes estranged relationships have the most surprising of gifts. And they often require just as much processing, and just as many gifts, as when the relationship was close.
