When someone lost a parent
Keep it short and true.
"I'm so sorry. I loved them too. I'm going to keep checking in — you don't have to write back."
"There is nothing right to say. I just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you today."
"Sending you a real, non-metaphorical hug. I'll drop off dinner Thursday."
When someone has cancer
Show up steady, not sentimental.
"This is a lot. I'm here for as long as this takes. Tell me one small thing I can do this week."
"No need to reply. Just wanted to say I'm in your corner and I'm not going anywhere."
"Sending you groceries on Monday. Text me if there's anything specific you want."
When someone had a miscarriage
Name the loss. Don't try to fix it.
"I'm so sorry. This was real, and I'm holding it with you. No pressure to talk."
"Thinking of you today. There's no timeline for this and no right way to feel."
"I love you. I'm here for the hard days and the fine days both."
When you don't know what to say
Say that. It's better than a cliché.
"I don't have the right words, but I didn't want to say nothing. I love you."
"I heard what happened. I'm so sorry. I'm here whenever, however."
"There's nothing I can say to make this easier. I just want you to know I'm thinking of you."
When you want to say 'no need to reply'
Give them permission not to perform.
"Sending this with zero expectation of a response. Just wanted you to feel loved today."
"Truly no reply needed. Just here. Always."
"Read this later or never. Just know I'm thinking of you."
