Condolence Sayings

You may find that condolence sayings are a good way to help someone say their goodbyes.  That is usually the hardest thing about death, is not everyone is able to say goodbye or they aren’t sure how to.  Whether you were around to say your goodbyes or not, it is never too late.  There are many resources that can help you get the right message across.  Sympathy quotes, bereavement sayings or even condolence phrases may be helpful to you. 

Don’t be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.   

Richard Bach

 

The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.  

Little Foxes, 1866

 

Love here on earth, Love beyond the grave, There are no roads, My love for you can’t pave. 

Sachs

 

Heaven is a place nearby, so there’s no need to say goodbye. 

Lene Marlin

 

We only part to meet again.  

John Gay

 

The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.  

Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

 

You and I will meet again
When we're least expecting it
One day in some far off place
I will recognize your face
I won't say goodbye my friend
For you and I will meet again

Tom Petty

 

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.  Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.

Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will.

Don't cry because it's over.  Smile because it happened.  

Theodor Seuss Geisel, attributed

When someone is going through a loss, it will take time for them to see the light.  We all need to venture through the stages of grief and saying goodbye is usually part of those stages.  Acceptance is a big part and when reality sets in, they will need you to be there for them.  So do what you can and be who you are.  Send your thoughts and sympathies saying how much you are there for them.
