“I know I should have called you a few weeks ago, but I just didn’t know what to say.”
We’ve heard that from several people. And, to be honest, we’ve been in the same situation where we didn’t know what to say to people who had just been diagnosed with serious illnesses. So we just didn’t call. MISTAKE.
Here’s the deal. Just call people who have gotten tough news. Don’t worry about what to say. Just say, ” I heard the news and want to tell you I’m thinking of you.”
Better yet, write a card or a cool post card and drop it in the mail.
That small gesture means so much.
