Do you send flowers when friends are in the hospital?

2 Answers

Answer :

I don’t, I go see them.

Answer :

Sending flowers to friends who are in the hospital can be a thoughtful and kind gesture. Flowers can brighten up a room and lift the spirits of someone who is feeling ill. They can also serve as a reminder that the person is in the thoughts and prayers of their friends and loved ones.

However, it's important to check with the hospital first if they allow flowers or gifts to be sent to patients, as some hospitals have policies in place that prohibit them due to the risk of infection.

It's also important to consider the friend's religious and cultural background, as some people may not appreciate flowers or may prefer other types of gifts.

It would be best to check with the friend or their family members before sending flowers to make sure they are comfortable with it and that it is appropriate for their situation.

Additionally, You can also consider other ways to show your support, such as sending a card, making a phone call, or bringing a healthy meal or snacks.
