I lost my brother 1 month ago today. My mom is adamant that she does not want a "mother's ring" right now - that she can't bear to see his stone there. He was her only son & the light of our lives who left too soon @ 39.
What is a good Christmias idea for my mom without being too emotional, but yet stil remembering bub.....

A Framed Photograph of your mum and you brother together or of you and your brother together.......something that she'll tresure and wheather he passed or not that she would love to have but now with him passing something that is even more special to her or even a locket with his and your picture in it.....Pictures paint a thousand words that people need not to say even of they want too...

Gift baskets have become a common and popular way to express particular sentiments and with good reason: they’re charming, versatile and apt for every kind of celebratory occasion. But with the sheer number of premade gift baskets available especially online choosing the right one can be downright overwhelming. Not sure where to start. Take heart! No matter who you’re shopping for or what the occasion, here’s how to select the perfect gift basket.

"Both" you and your Mom should be in mourning. Usually mourning lasts one year. If you are insistant about a mother's ring then you are being insensitive. Why aren't you mourning too? Why aren't you sensitive to the demise of your brother? Can you "learn" some compassion? If you plan to give your Mom any kind of card, then make sure it only says something like "wishing you blessings at this holy time of the year". Or if she's catholic then ask the priest to offer a mass for the intentions of your brother and give your Mom the mass card the priest sends you.
Don't give gifts this year at all...for your mom, and don't expect any for yourself. This is not the time to celebrate.

Maybe a collage or framed collage of pictures of him. you can buy a really nice frame with room for lots of pictures and do that. or if you are crafty you could try a scrapbook. she may be too emotional right now to really look through it without crying but it will be there when she needs it, but at the same time only when she needs it. Not like a mother's ring that is just ALWAYS there, even when you need space and time to grive and get through life.
