RE: need advice for "sympathy" gesture

Well, having gone through my lost pregnancy recently, it was very nice to get flowers from people to know they were thinking of me. And it made it look cheery around the house.

She will be back at work this week, is it appropriate to send them to her there?

Oh gosh, I don't know. I don't work anymore, so I was at home. I imagine it is hard for her to even be at work, I know I would break down if I was at work and got flowers this last week or so. Does she have a private office? If not, I'd try to send them to her at home.

I wouldn't. She'd have to explain why to people and she might not want to do that with coworkers. It's a pretty personla situation, so I wouldn't want to force her to have to share it with people.

I'd send them to her at home, maybe with some tea, bubble bath, and a nice candle.

Yeah, I'd send her either flowers or a little care package, and I'd definitely send them to her house instead of work. She probably wouldn't want to draw attention to herself right now, so sending them to her house would probably be best.

I think flowers at the home would be nice. Also you can order cookie bouquets and they are pretty cute.
