What To Know 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.
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 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 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.
