Well, I suppose it depends on how close you are to the person. Maybe don't call them Get Well Flowers but more of I am thinking of You and Here for You if You need Me Flowers. And send an encouraging note saying that you are there for them.

it's better if you go (bring flowers with you, if ever) for a personal visit, and don't act too serious nor concerned. just make it a happy visit. don't talk about the event (that can come up much later, after the patient has undergone some professional therapy). flowers without you in a suicide attempt case isn't enough. the patient may interpret it in many awkward ways. if you can't go, better not send, but plan for a visit some time later if you really care.
i hope this helps. best wishes.

Suicide is normally a cry for help, or the result of some serious depression. So if the person is a friend of yours it would be ok to send some flowers and tell them you are thinking about them. You have them in your prayers, your grateful they are ok, and hope they can get to feeling better soon. All people desire to be loved, cared about. Good Luck and God Bless

Yes. Flowers are an excellent thing to send. They send a message that there was nothing to be ashamed of and remind that there is a "get well" in the situation. I think it's a lovely idea.

Do you know the person well? If so, maybe flowers would be o.k. Otherwise, I would say send a card with a nice personal note inside. You can always send something later as the person recovers and begins to feel better physically and emotionally.

If this person is recovering from the attempt, then a sign of concern and hope is certainly appropriate.
Send the flowers along with a card and instead of the typical 'get well' card, select one that let's them know that you are concerned for their well being and that you are hoping for them to improve to a better life.
Remember, suicide is generally done for two major reasons, a lack of hope or a severe feeling of loneliness. Giving them hope and expressing your concern address both of these issues.
Good luck!

I wouldn't send flowers of any sort. I would send a Thinking of You card just to let the person know you are there if they need you.

No - you take them out in nature to pick flowers...
Sending flowers seems impersonal - I'd feel like you just checked something else off of your to-do list.

Maybe a card that lets them know you were thinking of them and a nice home cooked meal (or store bought if you dont want to cook it). Dont send them get well flowers because they arent sick- they were just going through something they didnt really know how to handle.
Maybe a nice book to read, or get them something you know they really enjoyed.

I wouldn't, it's not the same as being sick and recovering from an illness. A phone call or a card that says that you were thinking of the person and you're there to support them or to help them if you can would be much more appropriate.
