how do you notify friends of a person that they have died?

Question

My father died over the summer and so all the relatives and people who live close were told But now friends are sending christmas cards to him and my mum. What is the best way to tell them he died

Answer 1

Sorry for the loss of Your Father. It is difficult to have to explain to others at Christmas time the loss of Someone so dear and near to Your hearts. But also nice to see that He, and Your Mum, have such good Friends. I would just type a short note thanking the sender for Their card, include a short note explaining that You and Your Mum lost Your Father over the Summer, maybe include a small explanation. That way you can make copies and not have to write it over and over. If Your Mum does not feel like sending cards, have some available to send to those who She receives a card from. You can help Her with that, and it will let Them know. God Bless You and Your Mum during the Holidays and through all the days to come. Your Mum will need You close during this time, and always keep Your Father's memories, and love constant in Your lives.

Answer 2

Sorry about your loss, try and get their addresses and write to them explaining the circumstances but you could also put a bit in the paper under the memorial section that might inform a few people as well. Ask other friends to pass the message on to others. I hope the cards dont upset your mum too much.

Answer 3

Phone them and thank them for the card and explain that way. Apologise for not letting them know sooner, but obviously it was a very trying time and you had so much to do.

Or type a little note and put it in each of the cards when you post your mums cards back.

Answer 4

if you dont feel up to or ready to call people then just send a xmas card back thanking them for their card and that sadly your father passed away this summer, that then leaves the ball in their court (so to speak)
All the best for you and your mum

Answer 5

i'd opt for to assert it receives extra efficient, even if it absolutely relies upon. I hated my father and at the same time as he exceeded i change into quite unhappy. dropping one man or woman makes you sense on my own because demise has that impact on human beings, because you understand how very last demise is and the way it has an wide impact on you. in case you opt for to cry, cry, its purely organic, to keep all of it bottled isn't healthful, yet in case you do not opt for to reveal to all people, as depressing through the indisputable fact that is, purely stop and take a second and cry. Your dad change into part of your international and dropping that section makes the entire element look knotted up and unfixable. there'll under no circumstances be yet another man or woman to fill the gap that your dad took up, and that is something you should locate how you may stay with. it isn't undemanding to manage, very puzzling, and no one is time-honored with what you're feeling or dealing with, which makes it extra sturdy, yet do purely not supply up. even although your dad is lifeless, it doesnt mean you should. It sucks that now all you've left is the information, and no, you do not ought to bypass on, there is not any time reduce on grieving, all you should do is stay your existence and under no circumstances allow human beings get you down.
