About this deal

If you’re someone who likes to create customised Christmas cards with your own photo, and you typically include a family portrait in your Christmas cards, you should skip it for those who just lost a loved one. Our thoughts are with you during the holiday season, and we wish you peace and comfort not only at Christmas but also for the rest of the coming year.” But while being reminded of the holiday season after losing a loved one can be painful, it can also be comforting and even healing to most people who receive these cards. You just need to take some extra steps to make sure that your recipients feel loved and cared for.

Wishing you and your family peace and happy memories during this difficult holiday. Merry Christmas You can say you know that this year will have been difficult, and that this Christmas might feel strange but that their loved one is still remembered.

WHAT TO WRITE ON A CHRISTMAS CARD WHEN SOMEONE HAS DIED

You should include a message that feels right to you and it is okay to say that you weren’t sure what the right thing to write was but you just wanted them to know that you are thinking of them! Messages like “I am thinking of you all – I image the holidays might be a difficult time for you”, “I really want you to know that I am here for you, whenever you might want to talk” or simply “You are in my thoughts”. If you do mention your loss then don’t feel the need to try and make it more appropriate and festive. A loss is a loss. On the face of it it may not seem fitting for a time when most people are celebrating and grief doesn’t “fit in” but you shouldn’t feel uncomfortable talking about your loss, nor wanting to remember and be thankful for having had someone special in your life God bless your family and grant you peace during such difficult circumstances. I hope Christmas provides some cheer amongst the pain

If you’re used to sending a lot of Christmas cards each year, it’s so easy to get lost in generic greetings. But if you’re writing for people who just lost a family member, you need to be extra mindful with the little details that could easily make their grieving worse.It feels wrong to say Merry Christmas after what you’ve been through but I am praying for better times and that the holidays can give you some peace from your grief May God bless your family during this Christmas season. With much love and prayers for peace and comfort. Writing a Christmas card after bereavement can be difficult. You might worry about what to write, whether to mention the person who has died, whether to mention Christmas or you might be wondering if you should send one at all. As mentioned above, the tradition was to not send anyone dealing with a loss a Christmas card. However that tradition seems old and out of date, if it was ever legitimate in the first place.

Try not to write a generic ‘Happy/Merry Christmas’ message and leave out any mention of their grief or the person they lost. For example, if you know that the recipient needs and wants to talk about their lost loved one, you can bring up a happy Christmas memory that you shared with them. But if the bereavement is very recent and there’s still a lot of raw pain, this might not be the best idea. Avoid Bringing Up Your Personal Struggles It’s not uncommon to say phrases like “you are in our prayers…” or “We will be praying for you…” and even include some Bible or religious quotes with your message.Whatever struggles you’re facing right now, it isn’t right to complain about this to someone who is grieving a loved one. Never make it sound like you’re comparing your own experiences to someone and avoid making the conversation about you and not your recipient. If you’re sure they don’t know then this could be the time to tell them. It may seem wrong to do so at such a festive time but assuming they are close/important people in your life they are going to want to know about a major event like a death READ MORE: What to Say When it’s Someone’s First Holiday Without a Loved One Tips for Christmas Cards and Loss Thinking with gratitude about the many Christmases we got to share together. We're missing ____ deeply, but the memories are such a comfort. But you should only do this if you’re completely familiar with your recipient’s religious practices. You have to be sure that the person you’re writing to is a practising Christian, and wouldn’t take offence to such phrasing.

While you have the intention of making someone feel more cheerful this holiday season, you also need to understand that choosing a very festive, jolly, or funny Christmas card design could easily be seen as poor taste, and could stir up emotions.

Send a Thoughtful & Caring Holiday Greeting 

It's been a challenging year, and we're so grateful for our friends and family during this time. Sending you love during the holidays. Know that we are thinking of you and are offering our prayers for you this Christmas. May you feel our love this holiday season and know that we are a call away if you need anything.” I can imagine how difficult the holiday season must be for you this year, but I want you to know that you’re in my thoughts every day. Here’s to better days ahead.”
