I have an acquaintance that lost her long term spouse 1 year ago tomorrow. I would like to say or write something, but don't really know what to say.
Any ideas?

I have a very good friend at work who's daughter committed suicide. I always make sure I acknowledge her birthday and the day she died.
I usually just write something short, like "thinking of you today".

It can be something very simple, like "I'm thinking of you today." or "You're in my thoughts today."

I have a very good friend who remembers the day I gave birth to my stillborn son. She always sends a card with the words.. I want you to know that I am thinking of you today and keeping you in my prayers.
She's been sending them since 1991. I look forward to having the day acknowledged by someone besides me.
Hugs,
