The words you use to convey your sympathy and grief for the loss of someone are highly important. Using cliches or ill-chosen words may hurt or stir up emotions in this sensitive and difficult time. So whether your means of expression is through a call, a card or a visit, choosing the right words is a must.
Use your own words to convey messages like these:
– “I/We are thinking of you. I/we wish there were words to comfort you”
– “I/We are shocked and saddened by your loss. We care and love you deeply.”
– He/She was such a fine person.”
– “What you’re going through must be very difficult.”
– “It’s too bad he/she died. I will always remember him/her.”
– “He/she lived a full life and was an inspiration to me and many others.”
