If you know someone you know that\u2019s going through a loss, you should think about sending them a care package.<\/p>\n<p>A care package is a package filled with some of the thing necessary to fill basic needs that might not be met in a time of loss. Care packages can include food, toiletries, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neflfuneral.com\/grief-and-healing\/grief-support-resources\">grief resources<\/a> and other personal touches that will help ease the bereaved\u2019s burden and make managing their loss a bit easier. There are many benefits to sending care packages like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It Helps &#8211;<\/strong> A care package is an actual effort to help. So often people offer assistance to the bereaved at the service but don\u2019t follow through. Actually, sending a care package proves that the bereaved are supported and cared for in their difficult time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Showing Them Support &#8211;<\/strong> Sending someone a care package shows you care and makes them feel supported in their time of loss.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gives Them Time Alone &#8211;<\/strong> A care package allows the bereaved to spend as much time alone as they need too but still helps them feel connected to others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you know what should you include in a care package? Anything that you think would help the bereaved or ease their pain is a valid idea. Use what you know about them and their preferences to help you decide what to include as you know them best. If you need some ideas, try thoughtful messages. Don\u2019t forget to include a note with a thoughtful message of support and love. You can also go beyond necessities into thoughtful and comforting gifts. Candles, slippers, bath bombs, cozy blankets, and teas are always welcome. If they have children don\u2019t forget to add coloring books or stuffed animals.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-515 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cremation-service-in-Orange-Park-FL-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"cremation service in Orange Park, FL\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cremation-service-in-Orange-Park-FL-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cremation-service-in-Orange-Park-FL-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cremation-service-in-Orange-Park-FL-1-219x146.jpg 219w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cremation-service-in-Orange-Park-FL-1-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cremation-service-in-Orange-Park-FL-1-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cremation-service-in-Orange-Park-FL-1.jpg 870w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can also include food. Cooking and grocery shopping might be the last thing on the bereaved\u2019s mind, so sending food is a big help. Stick to non-perishable foods that can be easily snacked on like canned goods, granola bars, cereal, or oatmeal, or make easily reheated meals like casseroles and soups. Lastly, the bereaved might not have time to run to the pharmacy or drug store for basic toiletry needs. So, send a care package with anything you might replace in a bathroom including tissues, toilet paper, shampoos and conditioners, lip balm, toothpaste, or soap.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that you don\u2019t have to feel like you need to buy and send a care package all on your own. You can always go in on one with family members or friends to share the costs and help the bereaved feel more supported by more people.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, a little care package can go a long way. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neflfuneral.com\/about-us\/\">We are here to help if you want to learn more<\/a> about care packages or Orange Park, FL <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.neflfuneral.com\/be-prepared-for-cremation-services\/\">cremation services<\/a>.
