Dear Andie,
My cousin died three weeks ago. I still think about it every day. I bought a card for his parents to share my memories of him, but I've had a hard time thinking of what to say. My question is, has too much time gone by for me to send the card?
From, Belated Griever
Dear Belated,
It is difficult for everyone in a time of grief to express their emotions. Especially when one was particularly close to the deceased, whether in the past or the present. There is no wrong time to express your sympathy for the family, whether it be a week after or several months later. Emily Post advises a simple note offering your sympathy and letting the family know that they are in your thought.
Best,
Andie East
