Party Pinches

Saying “Goodbye” to friends and family is not fun. In fact, I would advise everyone to avoid it at all costs. Unfortunately, skipping town without hugging friends and telling them how much we care about them is not the best thing to do. So when my friends decided to throw me a, “Not Goodbye” party (a.k.a. See Ya Later Party), I was thrilled. It was such a thoughtful idea. It turns out my kids’ friends had the same idea too. Many of our friends gathered on particular dates in order for my daughter, my son and I to see our friends one last time before we moved. Each event was an amazing experience.

I'm here. You're there.

It is much easier to buy gifts for someone who is celebrating than it is for someone who is grieving.  Birthdays, a new baby, anniversaries.  Those occasions are pretty easy to shop for because those are fun gifts to buy.  It's super awkward and hard to comfort someone who has lost a loved one. Besides the stores at local funeral homes,  there aren't many venues that carry a variety of thoughtful pinches to give to someone who is grieving.
