Basic Details You Should Know When Drafting Condolences Messages

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.

Include some memories of the deceased person. Mention positive memories rather than negative ones. If you had never interacted with the person before but you had had your friend talk fondly about them, refer to the stories your friend shared with you. This will mean a lot to the bereaved to know that their loved one was loved by others.

Don't over think your message. Just write something out of your heart and something genuine, expressing how you feel about the whole situation. Be brief and to the point. The recipient may not have time to read through a long letter.

You can offer the bereaved help. Be specific about what you can do for the recipient, instead of offering generalized help. You can conclude your letter by a thoughtful expression. This includes letting them know that they are thinking and praying for them. Visiting the bereaved personally will make a big difference, instead of just posting the letter.

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.
