How To Sign Sympathy Card

Love is so complicated. Even with our mothers. You can only look at it from the vantage point you're in and sometimes it's so surprising when your perspective changes because you never expect it to. This makes me think of my own mom who I didn't know for most of my life. I mean, I knew of and loved her but it's complicated. She spent many years away and even now I'm not sure if she knows that even though it was the best thing for the family, not having a mom for over 15 years of a child's life costs. Especially knowing that she's somewhere else. Because logic works well everywhere else but not always in the heart. But... The truth is never static. It's never even 3D. There's always another nuance I guess and that's all to the good. Here's to your mom: Happy mother's day. Thank you for that.

There is no need to go into any great detail here. You don't have to talk about your life or old times. You could include something about what a wonderful woman she was. But then just close off and sign. The key point is that you are sending something.

Simply write in my prayers or with deepest Sympathy. No need to write more than that. Sending the card itself shows great etiquette.

Sincerely is always a good choice since you are sincere in offering your condolences. It means so much to someone who's grieving to know that another person misses their loved one too. You are doing a really great thing by sending a note!

You could say:
"Your family is in my thoughts"
"I am sorry for your loss"
"In deepest sympathy"
I know she will appreciate the gesture regardless of how you sign it.

"I was so sorry to hear about your loss. With deepest sympathy, Pickle." Well, your real name, not Pickle, but you get the idea.

In such a situation you should not send anything. YOu may know her mom well, but you are not on good terms with HER. Her mom is dead and won't know anything, she is alive and she is not on great terms with you........so what's the purpose?

Her mother died, for heaven's sake. Put the past behind you and be gracious, caring, and supportive.
