I'm terrible at making sympathy cards. Probably because I'm even worse at sending them. I just never know what to say. I get all anxious about it and end up never saying anything at all because I figure that no matter what I say, it will be the wrong thing. Obviously, I overthink it. Anyone with me?!?
Fortunately, this card says it all.
And in a kinda pretty way, I might add. There's that Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper again. It really is a showstopper!
Any advice for the awkward sympathizer?
Thanks in advance!!

Here's what I used to make this card! Click on any of the images to go to my online store where you can buy them!
I know I have always wondered why we never make sympathy cards, as I make a send them alot....Being someone that has had alot of personal close losses in my life, I would say there is nothing awkward you can say that can make me feel worse then i already am when i am in a grieving stage, the worst think is saying nothing at all, a simple sorry card, with or without a simple sentiment stamped inside ( stampin up as had alot of good sympathy sets thru the years )means alot, its the silence from friends & family in my grief that is more hurtful . Sympathy cards let people know you are thinking of them & they are not alone <3 Beautiful card love it and enjoyed making it at class Thank you
