How to Wish Someone Who is Recently Bereaved Happy Holidays?

SharkyGeorge

Hi, this is a very complicated card. It's actually a thank you card because the person in question recently bought me a birthday gift. But at the end, given the time of year, I want to wish her and her family happy holidays (not Christmas as they're not Christian) and happy new year. However they recently suffered a bereavement so this doesn't seem totally appropriate.

Any ideas on what to say?

Thanks so much!

Thank you for xxx. Thinking of you and your family.

How about a Best Wishes card or just a blank inside card so you can write your own message.
Or maybe Thinking of you type card.
Whatever you decide I'm sure it will mean a lot that you are so thoughtful.

I'd normally say Peaceful Christmas but if they don't observe Christmas in that way you could say peaceful holiday season.

when I sent a Christmas card to the mother of a friend Richard who'd died 3 months before, I wished her and her family a peaceful Christmas. that I was thinking of them and of course thinking of dear Richard.

I would normally say 'wishing you the best Christmas possible', how about something like 'thinking of you at this time of year and hope that 2013 brings some positive times for you' or thinking of you at this time of year and hope that in 2013 you can remember some of the good times shared with (name of person who passed away)
