Best Answer

If someone is dying, then you don't want to send a sympathy card. You should use a thinking of you card, and write something comforting or positive. Here are some examples of what to write when someone is dying:

"I was thinking of you, and I was hoping that you are having a good day. I am praying for you."

"I want you to know that I am thinking of you at this time."

YOu don"t - well, obviously Get-Well messages are out of the question- some soft or nature-like themes might be appropriate with messages like- the vague- things are looking up, Hope you are feeling better.. vague, nothing to suggest a morbid angle. There are some very sick ( Get Well) cards on the market- one had a sketch- fairly well drawn of a submarine- and the caption- Sorry to hear you are in dry dock or running on the Batteries!- Hope you get a full recharge.. or words to that effect- not funny. In sad but many cases terminally ill people are so psychologically ( Gone) they could not even understand a card like that, or the full dimensions of their maladies. an interesting question- try something cheerful or light- not anything spooky or morbid- like jokes about skeletons or scavenger hunts... try a little kindness- as the song went.

What to write to friends in holiday card when you are dying of cancer?

Do they already know or is this your way of telling them? It all depends on you and your relationship to them. Personally I wouldn't make it the focus of the card. I would write whatever you would normally write with the addition of your bad news. If you are looking for sympathy or support, just mentioning it will bring that if the people you are writing to have that relationship to you.
