Facts You Should Learn When Selecting 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.
It is generally not helpful to tell a mourning loved one that their friend or relative is in a better place now. We must keep in mind that not all have the same belief system. Not all people believe death is "a better place". It is better to steer clear of this sort of statement. The most important thing to do is let these individuals know that you understand their pain and share their sorrow.
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.
For people who are not religious, there are many famous quotes available that are not affiliated with any faith. Epicurus, Socrates, and Francis Bacon are just a few who offer thought and words of comfort for those dealing with death. Even Theodor Geisel(Dr. Seuss) has thoughts on the matter.
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.
Keep in mind the idea is to bring peace and comfort to mourners. There may not be any way to completely alleviate a person's pain, but there is certainly the opportunity to lend comfort and understanding. Remember, even during our most difficult times in this big world, we are never truly alone.
