Facts You Should Expect When Considering Verses For Funerals
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.
Most people today do not want to hear sentiments such as "he's better off now" or "she's in a better place". Knowing people care goes a long way, but trite, scripted commentary does not generally convey our true sorrow for the pain of mourning friends and family members.
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.
Many famous quotes that are not religiously affiliated can also bring comfort. Hans Christian Anderson, Robert Louis Stevenson, and even Theodor Geisel (Dr, Seuss) have quotes that are appropriate for people in mourning.
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.
