How lovely of you to get your friend such a lovely and thoughtful gift...

I know what you mean, you don't want to be boring or trite, and a little thought first goes a long way to making a person feel a little better, even just for a moment.

here are some ideas:

1. For when words are hard to find, may this bring you a little peace and quiet company. With all my love, always.


2. Grief doesn’t follow a map, but I hope these words offer some steadiness as you find your way. Thinking of you often.


3. There’s no rush and no right way—just your way. I hope this book offers a bit of comfort on the harder days. I’m here whenever you need.


4. Grief is heavy, and there’s no fixing it—but I hope this brings you something steady to lean on. You’re not alone.


5. I can’t take the pain away, but I hope this book brings a small moment of comfort when you need it most. Thinking of you, always.


6. For the days that feel too much—may these words sit quietly with you and offer a little light. With warmth and care."


7. When everything changes, sometimes a book can help you feel less alone. I hope this one does. Sending love, today and always.


8. This won’t make the sadness disappear, but I hope it offers a little comfort when you need it most. You’re in my thoughts.


9. There are no right words—but I hope these ones help, even in a small way. I’m so sorry you’re going through this.


10. A quiet companion for the quiet moments. I hope this helps you feel a little less alone as you navigate your grief.

I hope you find them helpful

But,
