What do you write on a card to someone who has cancer? - Inspiration and sample texts
What do you write on a card to someone who has cancer? A loved one close to you is in emotionally heavy weather and you would like to mean something. But calling feels too big, and physically dropping by just doesn't work right now. Don't worry - this is very human. What is always a good idea: sending a card. A soft thud on the mat, containing your handwritten words. A small gesture with a big effect.
At Stamps, we know how hard it is to find the right words. That's why we are happy to help you. I myself, Pien, was diagnosed with cancer several times. And I remember very well what the cards and words of others did to me. Emotion, strength, recognition. Below are examples of what you can write.
What to write on a card to someone who is incurably ill?
A card can offer comfort even if you don't know what to say. Here are examples of card texts that convey support, warmth and love:
Example 1
Dear Otto,
News reached us that you have been given a terrible diagnosis. We are at a loss for words... We send you love and light through this channel, in the hope that it will ease the darkness somewhat. Not a day goes by that we do not think of you.
With love, Family Johnson
Example 2
Dear family Peters
We heard from your son today. We really don't know what to say. Life is so incredibly unfair sometimes. You must be wondering: why on earth did he die? We don't know either... Through this way, we wish you strength in the difficult period ahead.
Warm greetings
Example 3
Dear Sjaan,
What an intensely sad news.I hope with all my heart that you can fill the time left to you in the most beautiful way possible. If there is anything we can do for you, please let us know. We are happy to be there for you. We will visit you soon.
Much love, John, Jessy and kids
