Should I send a sympathy card?

Question

I know one woman very well online, and her father just died. However, I know there was some abuse there and they didn't always get along, but they seemed to have made up (somewhat) in previous days. Do I send a sympathy card saying "I'm sorry for your loss?"

Answer 1

It's always nice to send a written card.  I'd recommend sending a card that says something along the lines of:

"I am thinking of you during this difficult time and am keeping you in my prayers."

It doesn't condone the abuse and still acknowledges a loss and troubled time.

Best wishes.

Answer 5
