Try Nova freePeople who are grieving consistently say the same things helped: hearing their person's name, a specific memory — even a small one — and knowing you are not going anywhere. You don't have to fix anything or explain anything. A few honest sentences beat a page of poetry.
Within the first few days is kind, but a message that arrives two weeks later — when everyone else has gone quiet — can mean even more. Late and sincere is always better than never.
Both are fine. A text lands fast and lets them know right away; a card is something they can hold onto. Many people send the text now and the card this week. What matters is that it comes from you.
Then say what you know about them through the person you love: “I've heard so much about your dad's kindness over the years.” Honest and simple is enough.
