Don't know what dh should do. His coworker lost their almost 4 year old son a few weeks ago. Not only is today fathers today, but it would have been his fourth birthday.
Should dh send a text just saying thinking of you today? Nothing?

Re: Wwyd
How awful.
I think a text with "thinking of you today" is fine.

Unless they are great friends outside of work, I would not send anything. Today is going to be hard enough for him and reading thinking of you texts may bring more sorrow than comfort.

I sort of agree with this, but I also think there is probably "nothing" that could make today any worse for that poor family. It's not like a text from your DH will remind them of their sorrow. And sometimes just having someone acknowledge that they remember and are thinking of you can bring a small bit of comfort. It's a tough call, but if they were/are close outside of work, I would tell him to send a text.

I know it's not the same, but my bff just lost her father one week ago. I sent her a "thinking of you" text this morning and she thanked me. I don't see the harm in expressing your thoughts. I'd send a text.

I agree. I lost my mom 10 years ago. It means a lot when friends text me in Mother's Day, etc, that they're thinking of me. It's not like I completely forgot I lost my mom and they reminded me.

I would send it. I don't think a thoughtful text is going to make anything worse, it's not as if it's going to slip his mind at any point today and be a sad reminder.

I don't know that I would do anything. He might just want to shut everything off today.
That is honestly one of the most horrible things I've ever heard. That poor family. I hope they find the strength to heal.

Re: Wwyd
Two years ago my husband's boss lost her three year old to cancer. I gave my husband a card to give to his boss signed from me. I signed it woman to woman as I've known her a while. It is not like she does not remember and I hink having support is better than nothing.

I agree. It means the world to me when someone acknowledges my loss and thinks of me.

Re: Wwyd
100% send it.
After loosing my sister, mom, grandparents etc...it brought me a GREAT deal of comfort knowing people were thinking about me. Even those I had not seen often or in a long while.
Its very comforting knowing you are not alone and people have you in your thoughts.
Im so sorry their loss.
