What You Should Learn When Selecting Quotes For Sympathy

When someone you know or is related to experiences a death of a loved one, you might want to let that person know that you are thinking of him or her. Rather than select an impersonal greeting card, you may wish to send along condolences that you selected or composed specifically for that individual. As you consider the availability of sympathy quotes, you might fare well to remember some suggestions.

It might be suggested that you let your own feelings of grief guide you in this selection process. When people fail to feel anything toward the recipient or the death, they may choose impersonal sentiments or fail to acknowledge the passing at all. However, when you are in mourning, you may find it easier to choose a quote that expresses the depth of the loss better.

With that, you may rely on a quote from a religious book or a prayer you know to let the recipient know of your condolences. When your family or your group of friends abides by a certain religious practice, a prayer or passage from the text you follow may adequately say what you are feeling. It may also be well received.

Many people know that funerals and deaths are no time to express humor. Your relative or acquaintance may take great offense if you joke or make puns about the death. Even if you are trying to lighten the mood, this attempt might be ill received.

Likewise, it could be advisable to avoid any mentioning of how the deceased passed. Bringing up details of the death or reminding the recipient of the circumstances could bring unwelcome emotions. Keeping this tact in mind could serve you well.

These strategies could allow you to choose quotes that are suited for a funeral or sending condolences. As you consider what expressions to convey, you might remember some basic tips. These criteria may help you avoid offending someone.
