I have gotten a living plant, actually a small tree, at the passing of my MIL that we planted and enjoyed the spring flowers on it. More positive about a sad event, IMHO.
I once got sort of sympathy card from a so called friend as I was in the middle of chemo for breast cancer. Had no hair and surgery to remove the "bad" breast and this card wasn't very funny so I immediately threw it out. Haven't heard from or spoken to this person again. That was 4 years ago. Great, right!!!???
@wagirl ... I would say that whoever sent you a "sympathy" card while you were undergoing treatment for cancer was someone who was not very intelligent. I think she interpreted "sympathy" as feeling sorry for what you were going through.
Confused "sympathy" with "empathy.
