What goes in a sympathy card
Only what comforts.
Your words
A few plain lines, written by you. Short is kind.
A quiet look
Still water at dusk or olive leaves, with tender music they can turn off, or none.
A photo, if it helps
One of them together, or of the person as you remember them.
Messages from others
Friends or colleagues each add a line from one link, so the family reads them in one place.
Condolence messages to start from
Plain words are the right ones. Change the names and the memory.
A friend
I am so sorry about your mum. She made everyone feel welcome at her table, me included. I am here, today and in the weeks after.
Make it yours: Name who they lost, and one thing you remember.
A colleague
I was so sorry to hear about your father. Please do not think about work. We have it covered for as long as you need.
From a team
All of us are thinking of you and your family. Take the time you need. We will be here when you are back.
When you did not know them
I never met your brother, but I know what he meant to you. I am so sorry. I am thinking of you.
The loss of a partner
There are no right words. I loved seeing the two of you together, and I am so sorry. I will call on Sunday.
Short
I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts.
Some time later
It has been a few months and I wanted you to know I have not forgotten. Thinking of you today.
What to write in a sympathy card
- Say you are sorry, and say the person's name.
- Share one memory, however small.
- Offer something you will do: a meal on Thursday, the school run.
- Leave out reasons and silver linings.
Questions
- Is an ecard right for a condolence?
- A card in your own words, sent the day you hear, is kinder than a perfect one sent late. Many people send this first and a posted card after.
- Will it play music or animations?
- No celebration of any kind. It opens in a quiet scene with soft music, which you or they can switch off.
- Can our whole team sign one card?
- Yes. Share the card's invite link and each person adds their own message, with no account. How group cards work
- Can I send a card by post too?
- Yes. A pen writes your message in real ink and we post it. Handwritten sympathy cards
- Is it free?
- Making and previewing a card is free, and only you can see it. You pay once per card when you unlock it to send.
