Families who have lost someone often start noticing the birds for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e What is a good remembrance gift for the holidays?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e A remembrance gift should give the person a way to include their loved one in the season rather than set the grief aside. Something hung on the tree each year does that without a word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e What do you give someone who lost a spouse?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Someone who has lost a partner is facing the whole calendar alone for the first time, and December is the loudest part of it. A small keepsake that names the loss is kinder than a gift that pretends it did not happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e How large is the cardinal ornament?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a heart measuring 2.875\" across, which is about the size of a plum. That is small enough to hang anywhere on a tree and large enough to read at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e Is a cardinal ornament appropriate for someone who is not religious?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e The cardinal belief is folk tradition more than doctrine, and it is given across faiths and outside them.
