My T I have been seeing for over a year just recently lost a family member. I want to give her a condolence gift or card. Is that ok to do? Or is that crossing the line?

i would think a card would be more than ok, although not required. Even just a simple 'sorry for your loss' would be fine.

I think gifts (unless made by you) is crossing the line. A card is a nice gesture.

Often the family asks for donation to charity instead of flowers - I think a donation like that would be fine but not really a gift card.

I gave a card to my pdoc when her mother died. She thanked me. I don't think a gift would be appropriate in this situation however.
I have given small gifts, sometimes homemade, to my pdocs/T. __________________ The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. anonymous |
