[quote=Anonymous]Im so sorry for your losses, OP.

think most people are incredibly selfish and self involved. I always make sure to at least send a card when a friend or even an acquaintance experiences the loss of someone close to them or is going through a hard time. It’s not that difficult for me—-I keep a box of sympathy/thinking of you cards and some stamps ready at all times and it takes me about 5-10 mins to write a nice note and put it in the mail drop box down the street. Doing this is not much effort or time or expense for me but typically means a lot to the recipient since so few people do this anymore.

Even a text or phone call is better than nothing at all. My MIL is dying and I sent a text to my parents and siblings and their spouses (all of whom have met/spent time w my MIL and have known her/my husband for 20+ years) to let them know that my husband would love to receive texts w words of support (I’m thinking of you. So sorry for what you’re going through. Etc) and one person, my sister in law sent him a text. I didn’t tell my husband i was doing that and he certainly didn’t ask me to (he would never…)but I’m so disappointed that my parents and my brothers can’t be bothered. 😕 it’s so easy to be kind.
