| No, I don't think it's at all about price..............it should be about the love.Anything you buy the survivor I am sure will be appreciated. |

| No, but then I was 30 when my mother died.I would say don't spend the second amount on the survivor -- it could lead to something I've read about called 'survivor guilt'. It would be different if it's a gift they'd really like and it's a one time thing. Then, if they say anything, say that you know it cost more than you'd normally spend but that you thought they'd really like it. Knowing that you were thinking about what they would like is very touching. |
