How do you express "prayers" if not religious?
Hi,
My cousin is going through some really tough times, and I'd love to send her my support, but she is asking for "prayers" and I am not religious. Is it okay to send her "good thoughts and support" without mentioning "keeping in her in my prayers" or is that a slap in the face?
Anyone else had a similar situation?
Thanks!
Re: How do you express "prayers" if not religious?
"Peace and blessings to you and your family at this time, my thoughts go out to you."
Usually what I write on all sympathy cards
if she can't bring herself to accept that you're thinking about her and wishing her well instead of prayers then too bad-she doesn't deserve anything as far as I'm concerned. she can't demand that you pray for her-she'll have to take what you'll give won't she?
send your good thoughts and wishes and leave it alone.
Agreed. And conversely, if I were asking other people for their support and good vibes, I wouldn't be offended if someone told me that their prayers were with me.
