How to word this? Christmas after bereavement.

[BiscuitDrama]

Just need to say in an email ‘hope you had a good Christmas too’ to someone, but they had a bereavement in November.
Any idea on how to word it?

I would say something like "I am sure that Christmas was very difficult for you but I hope that you managed to find some peace in amongst it all"

Personally I wouldn’t even mention Christmas. I was bereaved in May and Christmas was horrific for my close family as we were so heartbroken and missing someone so much at such a family orientated time.

If you do still want to mention it you could say I hope Christmas was gentle for you or I hope you had a gentle Christmas.

Thanks both.

They’ve said in their email ‘hope you had a good Christmas’ so I think I should say something back.

It’s a nice work contact, which I should have said.
