my therapist lost her dad today, is there anything that I can do for her? I don’t want to cross any lines, any ideas on what would be appropriate? At this point her and I are more friends, and will be stopping our sessions within the next month. I just want to show my sympathy, but am not sure what to do. Any ideas?

send her flowers and a sympathy card.
Don’t send flowers. Send a card and write in it.
Write something, a card or even just a note, letting her know you are thinking of her in this difficult time. If you are willing, ask if there is anything you can do to help out.
If you want to do something beyond sending a card, you could give her a memorial tree in honor of her Father. It’s very touching to know something is growing and lives to honor a lost loved one. There are several sites besides the one I posted that do this. If you’re interested in this, check to see if there is one local to your area. I told a friend about this, and the young man she did it for was able to go to the planting ceremony. Now he has a place to go when he wants to think about his Mom, instead of a cemetery.
thanks to all of you for your thoughts, I’ll use them.
