I was best man at a friends wedding in Thailand. Unfortunately they were only married a year before he very sadly and suddenly passed away from a heart attack.
It’s his 1 year anniversary today, I have a photo of all of us at their wedding and I’ve been meaing to get it framed, I’ve had the attention to give it to her but I’m really not sure if it’s appropriate, I don’t want to make her upset by reminding her etc.
Is it inappropriate of me to give it to her?
I was back in the UK and wasn’t here when he died, I’ve had the photo for ages with the intent to frame it and gift it to both of them. I know grief is different to everybody and personally i’m not a fan of photos because I get sad easily but everyone is different.
Opinion would be greatly appreciated.
(She’s Buddhist and Thai if that makes any difference?)
Thank you

It’s not inappropriate. You’re not reminding her of anything. She thinks about him everyday. It sounds like a very kind gesture and I’m sure she’ll be touched.
Send her flowers, or a living arrangement. Living arrangement might be better because cut flowers die. I don’t know either of you, so that’s my best suggestion.
