Condolences Gift Baskets
What am I obligated to do?
The woman that I used to babysit for about 13 years ago called to let me know that her mother-in-law passed away. The kids I used to babysit are pretty much grown up now and I haven’t seen them in ages. I still am in occasional contact with their mother (the one that called). I don’t know the proper etiquette for handling this situation.
Ideally, I’d like to just send a gift basket to their house but they are expensive and we are on a tight budget. The fact that she called made me feel obligated for something. Is sending JUST a condolence card too tacky? I am unable to attend the wake so I cannot just ignore the situation.
PLEASE ADVISE!
You may feel obligated to do more, but if you go and pick a nice card and send it that is all you need to do. Staying in touch is nice, and it says a lot for you that they still think of you even in times like this. You must have been a very good sitter, and be considered a friend. Write a note in the card don’t just sign it, and they will appreciate it just as much. Oh yes a proper note is written in plain paper cut to fit the size of the card. This is so the family may remove it for the senders privacy.
