I'm not good with this - would love help with wording for a card

[KarenBinPa]

I have some friends - they have a strong Christian faith - the man has cancer and it's gotten to be close to the end. I want to encourage them, but don't want to say anything "wrong" which I'm prone to doing!
Please help me find the right things to say to them in a card.
Thank you,
Karen

They have one child, who lives at home and is 19 years old.

Oh, I just went through this not too long ago. It isn't easy. I think I kind of went with sort of a "thinking of you" card... you can't say "get well" and you don't want a sympathy card. It isn't easy to get in the right place. Just let them know they are not alone.... best of luck

I'd do Thinking of you or Praying for you on the outside. Then I might write, Praying that God will bring you the peace and comfort you need. May God surround you with those who can comfort, love and guide you through this difficult time.

Anything that conveys care and and lets them know that they are not alone and that they're supported should be fine - "Thinking of you", "We're here for you", "Praying for you" - any/all would work. Its always so difficult to watch someone go through this...

The Stampin'Up! set An Open Heart has a great sentiment, too: "So much my heart would like to say...so hard to find the words..."

I agree with the above.

If you are interested in offering help to them-
You could write your phone number too-which underscores you are serious about them calling you for favors. Or you could call them and say "I'm going to the supermarket today-can I pick up something for you?" or drop food over-he may not be able to eat it, but she can. I just say I was cooking anyway and make sure it is something neutral-not spicy etc. like pasta. If there is something he can have and likes-get him that. The caregivers are usually running on fumes at the stage you are talking about.

I can't thank you all enough for helping me with this, and for providing me with such great sentiments and thoughts to write. This helps so much -- I really appreciate your time to post!
