What do you write in a sympathy card, when you don't really care about the ones left mourning?

    This one is a tough one, not like an ugly child, so you say nice shoes. How about "she lived a long life and sadly it was her time to go". Then sign your name, you don't have to put anything else no love, respectfully, sincerely, magnanimously yours just sign your name. If you really don't know this person well you don't have to say or give them anything. I hope that this will help you out with your problem.

    If you care "at all" then you say the same thing as if you cared a lot.

    If you don't care "at all" then don't say anything. Believe me, if you're writing a card for the sole purpose of not looking like an ******, you've already been seen through.

    With sympathy,

    sign your name

    Actualy its better to Show come Care... coz u dnt knw... wat dey hav lost... an its always said " U only come to value someone, wen dey have left you and wen u miss them."

    If u do not wish dem frm within ur heart, better dnt Wish dem. ahve a FAke heart is going to Hurt evn the departed ones.

    I would rather say.. u wish dem in a way tht u really Care. Atleast for the One Last time frm within ur Heart.

    U knw! dey hav lost sm1, but u have not. u wil only feel it wen u have 2 face tht. Wud u den expect a fake wish frm sm1. u wud rather expect no1 to wish than a fake wish. So thibk over it.

    just pen down... those beautiful words tht comes thru ur Heart. atleast for one last time.

    Take Care.

    "I extend my sympathies in your time of loss." then sign your name. It's appropriate, quick and doesn't open you up to a lot of fake sentiment that would come across as such.

    If you don't care about them, why even bother in giving them card? Save yourself the effort....... I think sympathy should be heartfelt and if you don't feel it then don't do it.
