Condolence Message On Death Of Mother


What To Notice When Choosing Words For Sympathy

When someone dies, people often give greeting cards that contain condolences and prayers. However, while these cards may adequately send along a person's sympathies, you may wish to write down or choose your own condolences to express better your sentiments. As you choose sympathy quotes for the occasion, however, you may want to remember some basic criteria to make your quest more successful.

For example, it might be advisable for you to remember your own feelings of regret and sadness as you make your selections. Sometimes people choose impersonal cards that fail to express their emotions adequately. If you are genuinely sorry, you can let this sorry guide you in your quest to find suitable expressions to give to someone else in his or her time of mourning.

With that, you may rely on a quote from a religious book or a prayer you know to let the recipient know of your condolences. When your family or your group of friends abides by a certain religious practice, a prayer or passage from the text you follow may adequately say what you are feeling. It may also be well received.

Many people know that funerals and deaths are no time to express humor. Your relative or acquaintance may take great offense if you joke or make puns about the death. Even if you are trying to lighten the mood, this attempt might be ill received.

The same ill advice may follow when you send notes that remind the recipient of the nature of the loved one's passing. If the death was violent or sudden, for example, the survivors may wish to get past that information in order to heal. Reminding them of how their relative or friend died could be detrimental.

These strategies could allow you to choose quotes that are suited for a funeral or sending condolences. As you consider what expressions to convey, you might remember some basic tips. These criteria may help you avoid offending someone.
