Experiencing the death of a friend or family member can be one of the most difficult times of one's life. Many feel uneasy trying to form the proper words to express their feelings to the survivors. There are just a few rules of thumb that should be followed when writing Sympathy Notes.
Condolences are important to the family as they provide comfort during a time of great loss and also aid in the healing process. It reminds them that their loved one will be missed and that others are sharing in their grief. Perhaps the most difficult part of writing such sentiments is to do so without increasing the mourner's sadness.
Always remember to keep these messages short. A lot of sentiment can be relayed in just a couple of heartfelt words much better than in a letter. Condolences should never be sent via email or text, rather they deserve to me mailed or carried by hand and are best conveyed as soon as one is informed of the passing, even if it happened some time ago.
The best materials to be used are specialized, or blank note cards or fine stationery. Sending a floral arrangement calls for nothing more that the briefest of sentiments as a way of identifying the sender. Even if flowers are sent, one should still have a formal condolence card delivered.
To keep from sounding insincere, one should express themselves with words that sound natural and heartfelt. The most common sentiments are those saying that the family will be in one's thoughts and prayers during this time. It is also customary to say that the deceased's absence will be felt.
Another good idea is sharing just a brief memory of the individual that is positive and uplifting. If extending an offer of assistance, be specific as to what type of help is intended such as bringing food, taking care of errands or just being available to listen should they want to talk. Just remember to keep sentiments brief and heartfelt.
