Question:

Is it weird to write a letter to the parents of my good friend who recently passed away?

by | earlier

One of my best friends passed away last week, I have never met his parents in person though i have talked to them on the phone many times through a rough patch in this friends life earlier this year. Would it be inappropriate for me to write them a letter sending my condolences and telling them about how much I cared about this person?

I think that's a good idea..I think they will be very happy knowing that their child has a really good friend like you..who'll always remember their child in your heart..& care so much about their child..maybe your letter will help them through this hard situation..maybe not much, but still has a meaning..it's deep.. ;)

I'm so sorry for your loss..

No it would definitely be a good idea to do this as i'm sure your friend would want you to be there for his/her parents, and as you were there through a rough patch already they should know you only wanted the best for your friend

no i think its the right thing to do. when my best friend passed away, i wrote the family a letter and now i talk to her parents more than i ever would have imagined.

no it wouldn't be inappropriate at all. go ahead and send the letter. it might even make them feel a tiny itty bit better that he had such a gr8 friend as urself.

I definietly think you should write and let them know how much you cared for that person. Then keep in touch so you can share your memories of that person. I am really sorry for your loss.

no, i don't think its weird at all.  I think they would very much enjoy the fact that you had so many great times with their son and everything.

Just don't make it too out there or sappy, i guess.  I mean you wouldn't want to make their situation and harder or more sad than it already is.
