Do you send bereavement cards to your family?

I would say that you should do whatever feels right for you and your family.

Personally I wouldn't but we're not a very 'cardy' family. I would say that cards of sympathy should come from those who aren't directly suffering from the bereavment ie friends and distant family. But that's just my view, like I say, what ever's right for you ?

I've not sent cards, but given gifts that were appropriate to the person. However, that's not to say that that cards would be inappropriate. Sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

I personally wouldn't send them to family but then I hate bereavement cards anyway. It's much nicer to let the person know that you're thinking of them by getting in touch in person or by phone and letting them know you're there for them if they need you.

I am sorry about your loss.

I personally wouldnt send close family cards but it may be nice to write some nice personal memories of your nan in a card for your grandad for him to have later on to look at and cherish .

What feels right. I tend to send cards to close family of the deceased unless I'm there.

When my Nan died and I was over here I sent my Mum a card but not my sister. I don't think my sister set my mum a card though as she was there and my mum's sisters didn't send each other cards.

Thanks, looks like I have two more cards for my card draw! I did wonder as I bought them! xx

Depends on the card. I make all of my own, so I would probably send one as I can make it exactly as I want it.

I wasn't a massive fan of bereavement cards until my Grandma died and I saw how much my Mum appreciated them

Sorry for your loss

I think it depends - just a "thinking of you" card I would probably send but not an acual bereavement card.

Sorry for your loss

We didn't send one to MIL or SIL, when FIL died. All the cards sent to MIL by family and friends were also addressed to H and SIL.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I wondered this when my nana died, we aren't on speaking terms with my grandad for various reasons but I think maybe your grandad may appreciate it, being from an older generation. I didn't send my mum a card in the end as I rang her pretty much daily when it happened and got the train home the day before the funeral (MrSC drove down on the day) so I could be there and help her with the prep. I think if you are going to speak to her/offer practical support it is probably not necessary.

I'm very sorry for your loss, hope you are holding up OK.
