Basics To Learn When Selecting Words 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.

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.

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.

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.
