BamaTanya Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I have a long-distance relative who's arranging her hospice care today. I'm trying to think of something . . . anything . . . to do for her. We cannot visit, so I'd like to send a gift. I know she loves to read. She read all the Anne of Green Gables books and passed them on to me years ago. She had a Joyce Meyers book in her reading nook when we last visited. I don't usually try to select books for others, but she isn't able to get out much and doesn't have energy. Maybe a light or beautiful or spiritual book could bring her some joy . . . I would appreciate your ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm not good at things like this. I have an idea of harp playing while I'm dying... romantic, yes? I saw it on a new show years ago, about it relieving stress. Usually hospice is pretty close, yes? If you are sending more than one thing, a rice bag or something to be warmed in a microwave.... (warn about time... ask me how I know!) Audio CD books to listen to... when you're too tired to read? Whatever they like to suck on... to help with the parched feel? Nice Powder? The Barbara Johnston (sp?) book.... To be honest, I'd go to the Goodwill before the new store. I find that an almost dry baby wipe... wipes most books nicely.... You can get so many for such a little price... Hugs... Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
