Bereavement cards

I agree that ‘thinking of you’ cards somehow seem kinder than bereavement cards I appreciated them when DH died.

I remember in my young days death notices in the local paper often said " no cards or letters please " You never see this now .

I tend to stick with “Thinking if you” type cards. It is always hard to know what to say, but often the less the better.
When Paw died I had many, many letters and cards and it wasn’t o much what people wrote, but that they had taken the time to think of us.
Yes - do send a card or a letter. It will be appreciated.

Of course you can send a card to your son in law if you wish. I am sure he would much appreciate it - and certainly address it to both of them (and children if any).

In present circumstances perhaps you could send your daughter a small gift of money and ask her to buy some pretty flowers on your behalf next time they are shopping.

When my husband dies in March my daughters received cards from many of ours friends and thery were very touched. A bereavement touches many people.
