Free Condolence Letter

It is always hard to write that letter of condolence, but using a free condolence letter may just help you do the impossible.  Writing a condolence letter doesn’t have to be that hard, but with all the emotions running through your mind, it often is.  Sometimes you just need to organize  your feelings in a way that they don’t all come out at once.


Start your letter off my acknowledging who was lost, their name and what relation they were to the recipient of the letter.

Next express your sympathy, how you feel about the situation.

Mention any memories or special qualities of deceased. If you had met the deceased or things you had heard about the deceased.

Remind the bereaved of their strength to get through this.

Offer help.

When ending the letter, be careful not to sound generic by using words like sincerely, from or love. Use thoughtful words by giving hope or wishes for the bereaved.

You want to speak from your heart with gentle words of your deepest thoughts and feelings for those who were left behind.

 

Example:

Dear _____________

I was so sorry to hear that your father _______________ has passed away. I remember what a good man he was to us as children. Always making time to be with his family. He will surely be missed.

Remember, god will never give you more than you can handle. You are a strong woman.

If you or your family need anything, please let us know. We are only a call away.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
