My husband's co-workers father just passed away.?

He is a Muslim and they would like to do something to express their sympathy but don't want to offend him or his family in any way. What is proper?

    Get a blank card and simple write out: "Our condolences in your time of loss" - simple and sweet no matter what religion you are.

    First im sooo sorry for what he has done to you and your state of mind.... If you believe you cant get past this honey than simply don't.. Its not a smart choice to stay for the "sake of the children" if you two are in a unhappy marriage no matter how you front them babies or teenagers are going to feel it to.. They deserve to have two loving parents and just because you two don't love each other the way you used doesn't mean you don't love them... Yes it will be hard starting over.... Yes there will be times when you could just crawl under a rock forever... Its going to be mainly uphill for a long time... But you can do it...!!! You deserve your peace of mind and a inner happiness that you somehow lost in the years since his infidelities have began.... Is he going to be sorry? you bet your sweet *** especially when he realizes the full extent of what he's done which he hasn't and wont for awhile... you said it right when you said you know how to be a devoted wife but not sloppy seconds.... and that's what you deserve a devoted husband.... I hope that you can find the inner strength and courage to what you believe is right for you... If you have faith in god.... Use that... you can pull amazing amounts of strength from a little bit of faith.... Best of luck... You deserve the BEST...!!!!

    A generic sympathy card will do just fine. Just get one that says how your husband and his co-workers feel. Far from being offended, he will most likely appreciate the gesture. Simply saying, "I am very sorry for your loss." Say's a lot.

    I am sure a nice non-denominational card would be fine.
