Death is easy. It’s life that is difficult. When someone passes away, the ones left mourning are those who have to deal with the tough situations lying ahead. One of the tough situations is writing a condolence message or signing a sympathy card. It is not an easy thing to do, but it is very much important.
Our words have a way of paving emotional roads for others. With just our words, we can either make their journey hard or assist them through the tough times by letting them know that they are not alone. Words have the power to build someone up but they also hold the power of breaking them down. This is why it is so important to choose our words wisely and correctly while we convey our deep condolences.
Not all of us have a way around words and it does not mean that we should not express ourselves. If you are not good with words and are constantly worrying about what you will write or if what you’ve written is sensitive or not, you should try to pick out one of the short condolence messages that we have listed. You can choose the one you relate to the most.
