My best defense against feeling powerless is simply to let people know I'm thinking about them all the time. Sending cards and small gifts produces delight at their end and a strong feeling of satisfaction on my end. But for me, it is tough doing it consistently enough to really make sure they know I care. There are lots of ways to send cards on a regular basis so that there is a steady stream of caring and lots of smiles when they receive a special greeting.
