Gifts for the dead?

Question

Every Tueday morning i walk to my local cemetery and leave flowers and gifts for the dead. There are severals grave sites that I visit regularly and have a connection to. I was just wondering what sort of gifts you would leave? Or possibly something that maybe I could leave.

Please do not give me any stupid answers such as : "thongs!" or anything sexualy related for that matter.

This is a serious question that I would like thoughtful and serious answers for.

Thanks.

Hi! I lost a dear friend in April. She loved candy, especially chocolate.Whenever she'd come over, I feed her something healthy and the minute I turned my back, she'd be looking for something sweet.I bought some good chocolate especially for her and keep it in an abalone shell. She was in a terrible accident (not her fault) and passed away before she could eat any of it.

I often leave her chocolate now.Spirits are able to enjoy the spiritual aspect of foods they once enjoyed and while the food, physically would be untouched, rest assuring they loved every moment of their indulgence.It's best to do this at your home.Just call them.They are ONE with SPIRIT and can be anywhere at any given time.Hindus partake in this ritual.I've been witnessed to many, many of them and know first hand that they enjoy the love behind the offering.Your loved ones are where ever you are.Their love will always follow you, no matter where you go.You need not go to the cemetery to visit or give them love/gifts. Take care.

I have seen teddy bears and toys on children's graves. One woman I know, lost her daughter when the little girl was six. Every year on the child's "birthday" she puts a small gift, like a doll or something on her grave. It helps the mom, I believe.

Spirits feel the greatest gift of all is communication. Just talk them, tell them about your day, your plans in the near future
and fond memories you have of them. The deceased aren't bound to physical objects like the living are.

presents ought to revolve round your boyfriend's pastimes and stuff. If he likes interpreting, get him a e book...If he likes events, get him a t-blouse of his well known team, and so on. yet when all else fails, merely get him some clothing, an eye fixed, or some thing technologies suitable. wish this facilitates.
