Is it appropriate? (Christmas card related)
I usually write a little something extra in all my cards. One of my cousins died this past year--and I was wondering is it appropriate to indirectly mention their loss in my card. Something to the affect of "I know this year has been rough" or "I know this year has brought a lot of change, and I hope next year brings peace in your heart?" This was a 2nd or 3rd cousin of mine--but we have a small family--his wife and I are facebook friends and she seems to be doing ok, but I'm sure she's still sad and missing him. I just wasn't sure if it is appropriate or not to put that in a card.
WDYT?
Re: Is it appropriate? (Christmas card related)
I would probably write something than to say nothing at all. I like the "I know this year has brought a lot of change, and I hope next year brings peace in your heart" sentence.
IDK - thats a hard call. I think while it will be especially hard for family right now during the holidays - I myself would not mention it. They are already being reminded enough. You know?
Maybe just say I am thinking of you and your family during the holiday??
I kept going back and forth with it. Maybe Squeshia's idea of "I am thinking of you and your family..." That could work.
Yeah, I did say that we're thinking of them. On the other hand, if I don't say anything at all, couldn't that come across just as callous and indirectly say "we've moved on--you need to forget/not mention him too?"
Well it sounds like you handled it well. I am sure they wouldnt take it as if you were uncaring.
