What To Expect When Composing Condolences Speeches

One of the ways you can express your compassion to someone who has lost their loved one is by sending them a sympathy note. Even though writing condolences messages is quite uncomfortable for most people, such a note can be quite comforting for the bereaved persons. Taking time to write them a note shows that you care about them.

Start the note by acknowledging the loss that your friend has suffered and how saddened you were by the news. Express your sympathy about their loss. You should refer to the deceased by name. If you knew the deceased, you can make a nice remark about them.

If you had interacted with the person before, share pleasant memories you have about them. If you have never met the person before then you can share the nice comments that the person may have said about them. You can retell a story about something they did or something the loved.

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.

End your note by letting the person know you can help them in specific ways in case the need arises. Do not just offer to help without stating how or what you can do. This will increase the chance that the person will take you up on you offer in case they need assistance.

Do not delay to send your note. Preferably do it shortly after you have learned about the loss. Take time to write out the note by hand, instead of having it typed. Sympathy messages are best written on plain paper in subtle colors rather than bold colors.
