Basics To Notice When Making Condolences Speeches

When you learn that someone close to your friend or colleague has died, you may want to do something to let them know that you are there for them. You can acknowledge their grief by sending them a sympathy message. There are various things you should keep in mind when writing condolences messages.

You can start by acknowledging the loss. If you know the name of the person who has passed on, then you can refer to them by name. If you were familiar with the person who died, say something nice concerning them.

You can share memories of the person if you knew them. Be specific about the memory or loss that you share. Opt for a positive or neutral thought. If the deceased was close or special to you in a certain way, let your friend know. The survivors will appreciate the fact that their loved one meant something special to other people too.

There is no need to get fancy or write something complicated. A simple letter will just do, as long as it is heartfelt. The recipient of the letter may read your message over and over, so be careful about what you write. The message should be concise.

You can end the letter by letting the person know that you are available for them. Do not offer general help, instead be specific about how you want to help. You can also let them know that they are in your thoughts and prayers. If possible, visit your friend and hand deliver the note to them.

Try and send your note within a reasonable period of time. This can be a within a week or two of their loved one passing on. Instead of typing the letter, write it using pen and paper. Use simple stationary, with a plain background. The messages can be written or tucked in between a sympathy card.
