Please Help...

A very dear friend of mine has just lost her husband. I need your help with what to put on the card. The words just won't come at the moment.
She is a Christian lady if that helps.

" Name, I am sending my thoughts and prayers to you at this very sad time"

"Always here for you, to talk and more importantly to listen'


Cupid

Mamya's words are just right.

I would worry less about the wording and just get something in the post/through the door, timeliness in these situations is what counts in my experience.

^^As mamya says. That's lovely. Sorry for your friend, cupid xx

Your bereavement verse should reflect your feelings:

"I'm sorry."
"Please let me know if there anything I can do."
"You are in my thoughts and prayers."
"He was a wonderful person. I'm so sorry he is no longer here with us."
"Please be gentle on yourself."
"Don't be sad. he would not want you to cry."

Keep it short is the key, just enough words to express your sympathy and to let her know that you are just a phone call away. 'Mamyalynne' pitched it just right.

[anneasquith]

just write down what you would say to her if you met her in person.

Even something as simple as "Thinking of you at this sad time", helps, Cupid.

cupid pal, words don't come easily to me either on these occasions, but there have been really nice responses from fellow AnswerBankers and I'm sure you'll find the right words. God bless x.
