Frequently asked questions
What should I write in a Holiday Wishes For Friends And Family card?
Avoid the words that ask the recipient to perform — 'cheer up', 'stay strong', 'they're in a better place'. Stick to what's true: that you're thinking of them, that the loss is real, that you're nearby and not going anywhere. The 32 examples above are written in that register on purpose; copy one and add the deceased's name where it fits.
How long should a sympathy message be?
Short. Two to four sentences is enough for a card; one sentence is enough for a text. Long sympathy messages often turn into the writer talking about themselves — their fear, their memory, their own losses. The wishes above stay short on purpose; the recipient is doing the heavy lifting already.
Can I personalise these Holiday Wishes For Friends And Family with the recipient's name?
Yes, and naming the person you've lost — gently, once — usually deepens the card without making it heavier. The wishes here leave space for that name. Avoid heavy honorifics; use whatever the family calls them.
