My friend died last month, and even though I know her husband and son, I don't want to forget about them at Christmas but i feel that sending a Christmas with all the Merry & Happy etc may be a little upsetting. Any suggestions please?

I think you are soo very sweet. Most people try to avoid these situations, the family will never forget you. It does not have to be wordy or clever just honest and friendly. If you can think of something funny or personal that would touch there hearts that she may have said or did, I know that would be great. We always like to hear about our loved ones. That would be a great Christmas Card one they would cherish. Best of luck and I am sorry about your friend and her family. It will truly be a hard time for them.

Sorry to hear about your friend. The best thing to do is send a card as normal. I know it's terrible but life does go on and everyone has to face that. If you're worried about the merry/happy christmas bit then just get a blank card and write: Thinking of you all during the christmas season.

Send them a normal Christmas card. Write Merry Christmas or whatever you normally write. No matter what you say in a card, Christmas is going to be hard for them..

Difficult this one. Just send a card as usual, but instead of the merry Christmas and all that, just let them know that you're thinking of them at this time and that the're in your heart. So sorry that you lost your friend. It must be really hard on you too. God bless.

Just send them the usual card and/or Christmas photo you normally would. This will be a tough year for them. They may or may not even have Christmas and your card may or may not even be rerceived by them for a little while.

i know what you mean. i think they might appreciate you acknowledging that this christmas is going to be especially difficult.
maybe you could send a beautiful card (rather than 'jolly') explaining exactly what you are feeling about them and their situaltion. maybe just that your thoughts/prayers are with them for christmas.
often talking openly about these subjects that everyone else is tiptoeing around helps them to resolve their feelings too.
they know that you are feeling the grief too for your friend.

Pick the card carefully. One of the blank ones with a picture of a tree and some space for you to write something original would be the way to go...along the lines of "You're in our thoughts."

I would send the standard card with a handwritten note inside that says you are thinking of them during this difficult time.
