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.

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.

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.
