Sending sympathy cards is a simple gesture, but it can make a big difference to a hurting friend.Words of sympathy are often treasured for years. A condolence message might be read over and over again. It might be shared with friends and family or displayed on a table with pictures and flowers.

It might be one of the most important ways you comfort a grieving loved one.
But don’t let that overwhelm you.

“I discovered the amazing power of a humble sympathy card to bring me a measure of comfort….One of the most helpful things you can do for a bereaved person is to acknowledge the loss. Don’t fear causing pain by bringing it up. It was much more upsetting to me when someone acted like nothing had happened. ‘I’m sorry’ may feel inadequate, but the truth is that there is really nothing you can say that will take the pain away. Sincerely said, ‘I’m sorry’ says that you care, and that’s what’s truly needed….It only takes a few minutes to send a card, and the act itself is much more meaningful than the exact text.” (Betsy Okonski, Newsweek)
