I’ve always wondered why flowers are sent to the family of the deceased. Now I have a different understanding of why this is a tradition and a way to express condolences.
Flowers are alive, fresh. A reminder of life. Flowers also have powerful emotional and spiritual healing properties. The floral arrangements I received were a reminder of the love and support of those that sent them to me – every time I looked at them and appreciated their beauty.

Beautiful! and beautiful beginning post. Thanks for that insight. There are those who resist offering fresh flowers because eventually they die, but what is life without the full cycle? And to see the love and beauty that exists without looking beyond is a gift.
Great site. Now onward…I look forward to your sharing more and more of your gifts…
You said it perfectly Kay! And Marinda, may you look at all the beautiful flowers surrounding you to remind you of the past, present and future love in your life.
