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.
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.
