A card under such circumstances seems reasonable, and nothing even a high stickler for therapeutic boundaries could object to. It might just have slipped his mind since it was a couple of weeks.
It's quite a dilemma though isn't it? The same thing happened with my therapist, and I felt rotten over *not* sending a card. I couldn't decide what to do about the whole thing, so gave my condolences in person. And it is very hard to talk about. I didn't even feel comfortable talking about how uncomfortable I felt about talking about it, or not talking about it, or whatever I did or didn't do. Nothing seemed right, but it didn't seem right to talk about my dilemma either.
I am guessing they understand that, and won't hold whatever we do or don't do or say or don't say against us.
