LIttle white lies to comort the grieving.

My fiance died 10 years ago. I gave all his possessions to his ex-wife for his children, packed into his camper. I only kept a few things that he bought for me, that we bought together and that I bought for him.

Well they took the camper,didn't secure it or unload it and months later it was stolen so they lost all his stuff.

Thru the years i have taken a few items I have and every so often send them to his daughter (including lil gifts from me for her baby).

Recently she was really upset and missing her dad. I offered her my prize possession which is a solid gold replica pendant of his NOFD badge that he had custom made for me..

She thanked me so much for it and said i had no idea how much it meant. (but I do know how much it means as I love that necklace just as much.

I also has a few collectable (inexpensive) trinkets, collector coins, stamps, etc)that were once his/ours. to give to her, for her son. But I also added quite a few that were just mine and told them they were his.

Yes I told a white lie there. But she was so thrilled with these things as if i handed her pure cold.She is still grieving so much after a decade and i only want to bring her comfort.

So was this really so bad?

I also have a gorgeous gemstone ring that I don't want because of i dislike the person who gave it to me. Would it be ok to give it to the daughter and just tell her it was "something her daddy bought and that i want her to have it?
