What to write in condolence messages: When you learn that a friend or relative has lost a loved one your first instinct is to reach out and offer your condolences. But finding the right words in a difficult situation can often be challenging. Below is a collection of short condolence messages that provide just the right tone and depth for expressing sympathy. Personalize your condolence message by adding in the name of the departed or by referencing their relationship to the one they lost – aunt, uncle, mother, father, etc. Sympathy card wording can be of any length, from something very simple yet sincere to a longer condolence message that contains greater details about your feelings.
