If someone loses a child, should a card be sent?

Someone I know lost a child due to some complications and has been really depressed lately. I talked to them about it briefly but that's all, should a card be sent of some kind or should I leave it alone?
 
I wouldn't send a card IMO, but I would visit him/her and be there for them.
 
I would honestly just tell them that you are there if you can help in any way shape or form, and leave it at that.
 
WTF. Where do you even find a card that says "Sorry about your kid's death"?

Personally, I'd offer my condolences the next time I see them. But don't bring it up after that unless they bring it up.

lol, I wasn't thinking of a card like that, just wasn't sure what to do and it's what popped into my head so I thought I'd ask here...

I don't think anything would be wrong with a "thinking of you" or sympathy card.

Send a heart-felt, hand-written note or letter. something to let them know you re thinking of them. Offer support.

MUCH better than a card.

There is no "hallmark moment" for losing a child. And a hug goes infinitely further than a stupid card.
