Do I send a sympathy card?
Dh's grandfather passed away last week and he is flying home for the funeral later this week. Since I am not attending the funeral, should I send a sympathy card with my personal condolences or does Dh's going speak for both of us? I have never met either grandparent and Dh is not close to them, so would sending a card to someone I've never met be odd?
Re: Do I send a sympathy card?
IMO, it would be your husband's loss as well (even though he is not close to them), so no sympathy card is needed. I can't imagine, for example, sending a card to my mom if her brother passed - he was my uncle, even if he is "closer" to her.
If anything, send a personal note and talk about any memories your H had of his grandpa.
