This holiday, I'm thinking about what a gift it was to know ____ and what joy she/he/they brought to the world. Sending you love and peace. 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.

Wishing your family the peace and love of the Christmas miracle.

WHAT TO WRITE ON A CHRISTMAS CARD WHEN SOMEONE HAS DIED

If you’re the kind of person who enjoys writing letters in Christmas cards to your friends and relatives, it may be second nature for you to bring up your (and your family’s) struggles and achievements in your holiday cards. However, you need to be careful about talking about your own struggles when writing a Christmas card to someone who’s suffered a loss. This might not be the happiest Christmas for you, but I hope you know that we are here for you. We wish that this New Year will bring you comfort and hope as you begin to heal.” After losing someone at Christmas it is never the same again. That doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the festive period and celebrate Christmas with friends and family.

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.”If you would like to steer away from too much overt Christmas sentiment, then you could choose another type of card with a blank inside. This still shows that you are thinking of them and avoids any worry about feeling insensitive with Christmas wishes. 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. Wishing you the comfort of good memories and the support of good friends this holiday season and always. Try not to write a generic ‘Happy/Merry Christmas’ message and leave out any mention of their grief or the person they lost.
