After a Loss card questions
When should I send a sympathy card?
It's best to send a sympathy card as soon as you hear about the loss. However, it's never too late to offer your condolences and support, even weeks later.

Keep it simple and direct. Acknowledge the loss and offer your support. A short note like 'I'm so sorry for your loss' or 'I'm here for you' can be very meaningful.
