Christmas card for family member terminal cancer

[Minnie911]

My dps uncle was diagnosed with terminal cancer about 2 months ago - what should I write in a christmas card? Will also need to send one to his daughter and son both adults with their own dc.

Errr Merry Christmas?? A close family member of mine also has terminal cancer but would absolutely hate to have a soppy 'thinking of you' etc card. It's Christmas! Ok so it could be their last one so why treat them any differently? Christmas is a time for families, smiles and making memories not dwelling on what may be to come in the weeks / months ahead.

If you're worried that 'Happy Christmas' would cause upset then something gentle like 'with love at Christmas' might work.

What would you usually write? Love from the Minnies? Or a bit of an update of your news, and hope all well with you? Or a round robin with lots (too much) news of your doings?

Love from us all, hope to see you in the NY, if you do, might work

Thank you think I'll go for with love at christmas I just don't think their christmas will be very merry so didn't want to come across insensitive.

Think that sounds good. When I got merry Christmas cards a month after my mum died I wanted to tell people to eff off. Just a tad gentler is perfect.
