Facts You Should Know When Making Condolences Words

One of the ways you can provide support to a friend who has lost their loved one is by writing them a note to let them know that you are there for them. Writing condolences messages can be quite tricky for most people. However, by keeping in mind a couple of things, you should be able to come up with a proper note.

You can begin the note by admitting that a loss has indeed occurred. If you knew the deceased, use their name in the letter whenever referring to them. If you know any special qualities that the person had, mention some of 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.

Sympathy notes should be written and sent as soon as possible after the loss. If you can, hand write the note instead of typing it out. This gives it a more personal touch. If you had bought a sympathy card from the store, add a personal note to it and include it in the card.
