We, as members of modern society, tend to push ourselves to exhaustion on the treadmill known as life. But when we experience a grievous loss, the treadmill must stop and we must get off for a while in order to allow healing to begin. Dr. Anne Black, a practicing clinical psychologist, observed far too many people in her practice getting stuck in their grieving process - sometimes for years. Alternatively, she noticed how they thrived when they focused on concrete ways to care for themselves and attend to their necessary "grief work". In 1996, Dr. Black founded a sympathy basket company to offer condolence resources to help make the journey through grief easier for men, women and children. Her comfort bundles provide helpful information and appeal to each one of the human senses. Tremendous thought and attention has gone into the language and the items selected for each basket. Unlike flowers, we recommend these condolence gifts arrive at least a week to ten days following the loss, or later - after life has settled down a bit, family and friends have returned to their own lives, and the deep feelings of loss are beginning to surface.

Condolence sympathy gift basket

We are proud to bring you Dr. Black's premier sympathy comfort baskets below.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  After you purchase one of these sympathy baskets, your gift bundle is hand-assembled to order by Dr. Black's small staff. What does this mean? It could take up to 3-5 business days before your order is shipped. So please be patient; the result is well worth the wait. As stated in the box above, there should be no rush when sending a sympathy gift, in any case.
