Whether you recently lost a loved one or they passed away a few years ago, whenever their birthday rolls around it can be a particularly difficult day. An excellent option to strengthen your relationship with them or to honour their life is to write them a virtual greeting card with happy heavenly birthday wishes.
But because we know how hard it can be to put into words what you’re feeling, especially in these kinds of delicate circumstances, we’ve come up with a few ideas to get you started.
Simple birthday wishes
Not everyone wants to write out a long message but still finds the action of writing a birthday card helpful, and that’s okay.
For those who would prefer to keep their message on the shorter side of things, here are some of our suggestions:
- I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday, you’re so so missed.
- Thinking of you, especially today on your birthday, wish I could be celebrating with you.
- I can’t even put into words how much I’m missing you. Wishing you a happy birthday in heaven.
- While you may not be here to celebrate your birthday with us, you’re still in all of our thoughts.
- I feel so blessed that you were a part of my life. Hope you’re having the best time in heaven.
- Nothing can ever fill the gap you left but knowing you’re at peace eases it a bit. Sending my warmest birthday wishes to the sky.
