What's the cut off time on sending a friendly acquaintance a condolence
card? I just found out. It's been about two weeks that she lost her pop. I know her and her husband and really like them.

1. There is none if you just found out

The feelings never go away and its always appropriate to share your concern.

2. Yeah, I agree.
I'd just state that you just found out.

3. There is no cut off, IMO. Sympathy card would still work, if it had
been longer, perhaps a thinking of you. But that wound is still fresh, and I think she would appreciated receiving your condolences.

4. No cut off. In fact sometimes the sympathy cards stop trickling in
long before the pain fades.

5. Thanks everyone. You are totally right. I just got a little cloudy
thinking about it.

6. It's all right. It can be awkward to tell someone that you are sorry for
their loss because you worry about opening up a wound. But truth is that I am sure your friend will appreciate that you are thinking about her.
