Why it helps
Comfort that arrives at their door
Pick a direction that suits the household, then write what you want them to know. The gift makes the gesture; the card says why.
Finding the words
Keep it simple: you are sorry, you are thinking of them. If the words won't come, try the card assistant.
Good for
A grieving household or a single friend; comforting food and tea are what most people send.
Delivering to the family
The delivery step takes the recipient's name and a note for the household; both help it arrive where it should.
