Let me help you find the words
What to write in a sympathy card depends on two relationships: your relationship with the person who has passed and your relationship with the card recipient.
Our free PDF guide walks you through the 4 possible relationship scenarios and what you should write in each one.
Example wording, writing prompts, and phrases to avoid will help you skillfully and thoughtfully write a comforting note.
We also include tips on supporting your loved ones through their grief journey.
Included in the guide:
What not to write
There are a lot of well-meaning things people say in the face of loss that are actually quite hurtful. We share two main categories for these comments and give examples of what to avoid.
Beginning, middle, closing
For each of the four possible relationship pairings we outline how to start your note, what you might right in the middle, and how to close. Each section of the guide provides example phrases for you to choose from.
Supporting your loved one
Grief does not end when the funeral does. Instead, it is a lifelong journey. We share thoughtful ways you can continue to show your love and care to your loved one throughout the weeks, months, and year to come.
