Advice: A reader who suffered a miscarriage wanted flowers but was reluctant to ask.
Everybody expressed their sympathy and asked me if there’s anything they could do. The honest answer was yes — all I really wanted was flowers so the house could feel beautiful and full of life during this time of sadness.
I guess I just want to know if I should have asked for the flowers when people asked, “Is there anything I can do?” It feels even ruder to ask now, and to point out that I really did have silent expectations, and nobody met them.
I hope you will also ask your friends and family members directly to send you flowers! It's not too late. Giving them a specific task and a clear way to help will unite all of you.One idea would be to ask your most reliable friend or family member to coordinate a delivery of one fresh bouquet each week for the next month or so — each from a different friend.I’m in a new relationship with a man I have known for years.
Because this bothers you, you should ask him! This should not be an interrogation, but a conversation. Do not tell him what to do, but do tell him how this makes you feel. You’ve known this man for a long time, but setting parameters in a committed and exclusive relationship is a process of getting to know someone in a new way.
