I\u2019ve never really given much thought to how these greeting cards are received or the words that are expressed inside of them. That is until I was on the receiving end; Two years ago I lost my husband of thirty-two years very suddenly.<\/p>\n<p>After the shock of that experience wore off, I had the opportunity to go through all the greeting cards, condolence notecards, and flower cards that were sent immediately after his death. While the words of love and sympathy that were expressed by family and friends were very much welcome, it was some of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/all-occasion-cards\/all-cards.htm\">sympathy cards<\/a><\/strong> and notes that I received from total strangers that made some of the most lasting impressions. These greeting cards were from people that I had never met, but that my husband had dealings with in his job. I\u2019ve always thought of my husband as a very honest, kind and ethical person. To have strangers confirm in these greeting cards what I have always known was very comforting. To know that he made a lasting impression in people\u2019s lives makes my children and me very proud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over the years I have sent many sympathy cards to family, friends and colleagues as well as business&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1292,1300,1302,60],"tags":[915,61,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-352","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-occasions-and-celebrations","7":"category-comforting-messages","8":"category-welcoming-messages","9":"category-sympathy-cards","10":"tag-sympathy-cards","11":"tag-business-sympathy-cards","12":"tag-notecards","13":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sympathy Cards Offer Comfort during Difficult Times - Gallery Connection<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/sympathy-cards\/sympathy-cards-offer-comfort-during-difficult-times\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sympathy Cards Offer Comfort during Difficult Times - Gallery Connection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Over the years I have sent many sympathy cards to family, friends and colleagues as well as business&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/sympathy-cards\/sympathy-cards-offer-comfort-during-difficult-times\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gallery Connection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2008-04-29T12:44:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-11-27T07:25:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Henry L.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Henry L.\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/sympathy-cards\/sympathy-cards-offer-comfort-during-difficult-times\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/sympathy-cards\/sympathy-cards-offer-comfort-during-difficult-times\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Henry L.\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/354a198a194eb6492cbacff6edb7440b\"},\"headline\":\"Sympathy Cards Offer Comfort during Difficult Times\",\"datePublished\":\"2008-04-29T12:44:57+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-11-27T07:25:08+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/sympathy-cards\/sympathy-cards-offer-comfort-during-difficult-times\/\"},\"wordCount\":218,\"commentCount\":0,\"keywords\":[\"Sympathy Cards\",\"business sympathy cards\",\"notecards\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Occasions &amp;
