Writing sympathy cards is a time-honored tradition of acknowledging the loss of a loved one. The card must be thoughtful and appropriate but also simple enough to say all that needs to be said in just a few lines. In this article, we will explore 3 ways to write sympathy cards: writing from your own perspective, sharing memories, and sending words of sympathy on behalf of someone else.
1) Write your sympathy card from your perspective – This may seem like the simplest option, but it can actually have more impact than you might think! You don’t have to focus on what happened or why they died. Instead, talk about how much you cared for them while they were alive and how much their life meant to you.
2) Make your sympathy card into a memory – If you knew the person who died well, you might want to talk about something they did, maybe as kids or as adults. Or if there is no one alive that knows them now, this would be a good time to reflect on what you learned from their life and how it changed yours for the better.
3) Make your sympathy card into a thank you – This is the opportunity to share good memories that will remind them of how much they were loved and appreciated by others.
There are so many ways to write sympathy cards, but all in all, each one needs to be genuine because if you don’t actually feel something when you write it, the sympathy card may sound fake.
