A card expressing condolences or sympathy is a very powerful way of showing someone that your thoughts and prayers are with them at their time of grief. It shows that you truly care about the person who has lost someone. While writing a condolence or sympathy card, it is important to note that it will become a tangible reminder of your caring and support at the time of loss. You therefore need to try to write an intimate letter that shows how you truly feel.
While writing a sympathy card, you may use the following suggestions.
1. Before starting to write your sympathy card, you need to gather your thoughts. Allow yourself to think about your friend of colleague who has just suffered a loss and reflect on what that person may be feeling. Think of how much you want to comfort that person who is grieving. If you have known the deceased, think of that person with as much detail as you can possibly remember. No thought is too insignificant.
Do not yet think about the actual words you need to write, just allow your feelings to be heard and felt.
2. Write the card. As soon as you have managed to organize your thoughts, put them down on paper and be as sincere as possible. It is perfectly acceptable to admit that you have no words to express or that you do not know what to say. Make sure your note is focused on the recipient of the note and be as compassionate as possible.
You may share your memories of the deceased (if you had known the person prior to his or her passing). If you have never met the deceased, then write about how your friend or colleague felt about that person. You can start by saying, 'though I have never met your mother, I know how much you loved how she read you bedtime stories when you were young from the stories you used to tell me.'
3. Do not make assumptions or poems when writing notes of condolence. There is no need to write about the details of the illness or accident as it will only create uncomfortable situations. Never use cliches like 'it was meant to be' or 'it was his time'. Do not use quotes or poems. Keep the note about how much you sympathize and condole. Keep it personal and simple.
4. Avoid making statements about how the grief-stricken should act or behave. Remember that the person has just lost someone they greatly care about and are going through a very difficult time. You need to offer your support as a friend or colleagues by offering words of sympathy and not a therapy session.
A card of condolence is a note that is meant to express your sympathy to someone who has just suffered a loss. A sincere and heartfelt desire to comfort your friend and an appreciation for the person who has passed away would go a long way in helping your friend cope with the grief.
