What to avoid writing

Don't compare illnesses. Stories about someone else with the same condition rarely help.

Avoid medical advice. Leave treatment to their doctors.

Skip "at least". Phrases like "at least it's not worse" can feel dismissive.

Don't push for updates. Let them share what they want, when they want.

When someone loses a loved one, see our sympathy card messages instead.
