Basic Details You Should Know When Choosing Words For Sympathy

When someone dies, people often give greeting cards that contain condolences and prayers. However, while these cards may adequately send along a person's sympathies, you may wish to write down or choose your own condolences to express better your sentiments. As you choose sympathy quotes for the occasion, however, you may want to remember some basic criteria to make your quest more successful.

When you think about what thoughts and feelings you want to send to the person, you may wish to express first how sorry you are for the person's loss. Your regret could be an underlying factor motivation to choosing a quote that will be appropriate and well appreciated. The person who receives your sympathies may understand that you are genuinely sorry for his or her sorrow.

You might also wish to send religious sentiments that will give the recipient hope. If your friend or loved one is religious, a quote that expresses a prayer or a passage from the Bible may be appropriate. You might even look in religious texts to select a passage that is right for the occasion.

Another suggestion would be to avoid attempts at being funny. Your friend or relative may love humor any other time of the year. However, a death in the family may be ill timed to be funny or try out new humor. You might be reminded to avoid humorous expressions in your letter or card.

Similarly, mentioning how the deceased actually died could be something that turns out to be regrettable. Many individuals in mourning wish not to recall the circumstances that caused their loss. Mentioning it in your expressions of grief could be inappropriate.

By keeping these suggestions in mind, you may find it easier to choose sentimental expressions of grief in a time of mourning. Because etiquette might call for you to show your condolences, you may want to give a card or note that has appropriate words included. These tips may help you choose the best quotes for the occasion.
