I recently found out that the mom of a playgroup friend of my dd's passed away. My dd and her son haven't been friends since those preschool days because they are a year apart, opposite gendered and a move separated us by many miles. Is it creepy or kind for my dd to send him a sympathy card?

It's always kind and thoughtful to send a sympathy card.

I think it would be very kind for your family to send him a sympathy card.
If your dd doesn't feel comfortable having it be from her, you could make it from your whole family.

I think it's sweet, but would your DD feel awkward sending it being that she really doesn't know him? If so, perhaps more appropriate for the card to come from your family.

Kind.
They even make sympathy cards for children now.

I have a huge box full of cards. Many from people I have never met. I haven't read them in the 4 years since I got them but seeing the box and seeing it full, makes me smile that those people thought enough about my husband to send me those cards. I say it never hurts to send them.

I think it's a lovely idea. If your dd prefers, send it from your family.

I agree to send a card. It really helps in grieving when your loved one had so many people care about them to send a card.

I think it would be most appropriate - and agree, that sending it from your whole family would probably make more sense.

Is it creepy or kind for my dd to send him a sympathy card? I think it would be more appropriate from you to be honest. They are teenagers now and have not been friends since they were preschoolers. That would have to be 10 years or more then right? Do they even know each other? My 13 year old doesn't remember the kids from his preschool playgroup even though I am still in touch with some of the moms 10 years later (the group is 20 miles so once they went to different county schools contact virtually stopped). |

I would make the card from your family to their family,, but I don't think it is weird to send a card.

I agree. Also include a memory you recall of your time spent with him and his mom during those younger years. |
