I originally created this gift for family members after we lost my dad. I wanted them to feel supported by sharing what was in their heart. And to experience the gifts that loss can bring.

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.

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.
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.
"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.

"This is so unique"
Got the sweet condolences box 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. Loved the beautiful wrapped box too!!!
