What to write in a sympathy card for someone grieving, from afar

Sending sympathy from another country is hard — you can't show up at the door. Name that honestly, then be present the ways distance allows: calls at any hour, and words that arrive.

Quick answer

I'm so sorry — and I hate that I can't be there to say it in person. My arms are around you from here.

Questions

What do you write in a sympathy card for someone grieving, from afar?

Sending sympathy from another country is hard — you can't show up at the door. Name that honestly, then be present the ways distance allows: calls at any hour, and words that arrive. The strongest messages name one specific, true thing about them and say plainly how you feel — keep it short and it lands harder.

How long should a sympathy message be?

One to three sentences is plenty. A short, specific line beats a long, generic paragraph — people remember the detail, not the word count.
