Basics You Should Know When Picking 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.
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.
Special words for firemen, masons, nurses, doctors, for specific heritage, and much more can be personalized according to the needs of those mourning. Making it personal can be very good for those in pain. They will find comfort in the appreciation of their lost loved one's life work or passion.
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.
