Facts To Learn When Picking Verses For Funerals
The passing of a loved one is never easy for anyone. Even those who have been ill for a very long time leave loved ones in great pain when they pass. Those who have died unexpectedly leave people in shock as well as mourning. It is difficult for most of us to find the right words to say to those who are suffering in this type of a situation. The many verses for funeral cards can lend some comfort.
Although people usually have the best intentions, no one wants to hear "he's in a better place" while still in mourning. Add to that, not everyone agrees that the deceased is "in a better place". Some people believe the person is simply dead and gone and they continue missing them. Even those with a belief in an afterlife will not necessarily be comforted by these words. After all, they are still missing their loved one.
For those with religious faith there are many bible verses that are perfect for funeral cards. All of these scriptures point to the hope of a new life after this one. Some of these scriptures include the promise of all tears being dried, and death and dying being done away with forever. Others promise the restoration of our loved ones. These are certainly words of comfort for such difficult times.
For individuals who are not religious, or who question religion, many famous quotes are available that can help deal with a loss. Many point out the "circle of life", all things have a time and purpose, etc. Many philosophers and writers have a great deal to say 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.
Always remember, the purpose of cards for funerals is to bring comfort to those in mourning. The most important thing to convey is that we care, we understand, and we are available if and when we are needed.
