Questions
What do you write in a sympathy card for the loss of a friend?
Losing a friend is a real and often under-acknowledged grief. Honour it gently and let them know you see their pain. 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.
