What To Learn When Choosing Verses For Funeral Cards
Loss of loved ones is a difficult time in any person's life. No matter if the death is expected or not, the pain is enormous for most individuals. Most people want to offer their condolences as well as a shoulder to cry on, but are unsure of the right words to say. It does not matter if the deceased was elderly or very ill, or young and suffered an accident, the bottom line is the same, people are in pain and we want to comfort them. The wealth of available verses for funeral cards can make this easier.
Most people today do not want to hear sentiments such as "he's better off now" or "she's in a better place". Knowing people care goes a long way, but trite, scripted commentary does not generally convey our true sorrow for the pain of mourning friends and family members.
There are many religious verses that are helpful to those with a religious faith. Whether Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or any other religion, there is a great deal of information that will help to lend comfort. Most of these belief systems offer the hope of some happy life after this one has ended. These are excellent scriptures to access in order to help people of faith in healing.
Many famous quotes that are not religiously affiliated can also bring comfort. Hans Christian Anderson, Robert Louis Stevenson, and even Theodor Geisel (Dr, Seuss) have quotes that are appropriate for people in mourning.
Verses specifically aimed towards heritage, age, and even career choices, are abundant. Poems for a lost child, native American prayers, Irish toasts, a fireman's prayer, and so much more is available in order to personalize any card with the exact right sentiment for the occasion.
Always keep in mind, the most important things is to comfort and help bring peacefulness to those who are suffering. Make sure they know they are not alone and that you care about them and their loss.
