Words of grief and support in difficult times

Sincere words of sorrow and sensitive behavior express a willingness to share grief, support a neighbor with their presence or shared memory of the deceased. What is even more important is action participation, willingness to help, give your time and effort to a friend or friend at a time when he is vulnerable, depressed and needs participation. It’s good if you can guess what exactly it is: material assistance, organizational, physical. Maybe you need a ride or shelter for someone for a couple of days. Offer your services For example:

  • How can I help you these days?
  • If/when you need anything, contact me right away!
  • A lot has fallen on you right now. What can I do for you?
  • I think you might need some help. I would like to participate.

My condolences…

We have given some words of condolences to celebrities at the end of this article. The website “Making Monuments.ru” provides 100 specific examples words of sorrow on the occasion of death.

Accept my condolences!

Delicacy and sincerity- this is what you need to remember when pronouncing words of sympathy. In grief, the feeling of sincerity and falsehood intensifies. Feel free to select in advance, and Housesrepeatedlyaloudtalk phrase of condolences. This will allow the right moment not to think about the wording and concentrate on the person and circumstances.

Examples of short verbal condolences

Format verbal condolences depends on the context. In a close circle, you can allow soulful. But at a funeral or, during a farewell to the body or during a funeral service, only short sayings. Many more invitees must express their condolences.

  • [Name] was a man of great soul. We sincerely sympathize with you!

Religious Condolence

Is it right to express condolences using religious rhetoric? When is it appropriate and when is it not appropriate to refer to quotations from holy books? How should you use the words of prayers if you express your condolences to a person of a different faith or an atheist?

  • If both the sympathizer and the mourner are atheists or agnostics, then there is no point in resorting to religious rhetoric. Ideas for short phrases of sympathy can be gleaned from the section.
  • If a man, someone who has lost a loved one is a believer, but you are not, then briefly addressing the topic of a better life in another world will be correct, but the use of church language will seem false. Ideas for phrases can be found in the section.
  • On the contrary, when the person grieving is an atheist or agnostic, and you are a believer, then an appeal on your part to or to the dogmas of your religion will look like a sincere form of sympathy. Only the measure is important.
  • If you and the bereaved person - both fellow believers, then turning to common sources, general and observance of canonical rites of remembrance are appropriate.
  • Even if the grieving person is himself a lover of rhyme, still the moment of condolences is not the right time for your own poetry.
  • Poetic text in the context of condolences is devalued and can be perceived as verbal exercises during grief.
  • If it’s popular, then it’s already exotic, but condolence poems- this is the risk of being misunderstood.

Condolences via SMS? No.

  • The message may arrive at the wrong time.
  • Even if your condolences are terse, the very image of the SMS channel suggests the transmission of facts, not feelings.
  • If you send condolences via SMS, then you have a phone in your hand. — Was it difficult to call? - this is what a person who has suffered a loss will think about.
  • If you do not meet in person in the coming days, then express your condolences by phone or email.

What should you not say when expressing condolences?

  • Comfort with the prospect. Pain is here and now, and against its background, turning to the future means either showing your tactlessness, or hurting a loved one, or, at the very least, being unheard or misunderstood. Inappropriate words: “Everything will be fine...”, “Don’t worry, you’ll get married in a couple of years”, “Everything will pass, and this is pain too”, “Time heals...”, “Nothing, you’re young, you’ll give birth again”, “I wish you faster survive the grief...
  • Demonstrate positive circumstances associated with the loss. Examples of tactless phrases: “Be strong, friend! After all, it can also happen (so/worse/more terrible...)”, “With such torment, death is a relief”, “It’s good that at least (something worse) didn’t happen”, “The child will have his own room”, “You the opportunity arises (to do something).”
  • Point out the culprit, “find the last one”. For example, “God gave - God took”, “If you... (went to the doctor), would not have let him go, listened to the advice...”, “Such doctors should be put on trial,” “Given his lifestyle, it is not surprising.”
  • Don’t ask how and under what circumstances it happened. This is not the time or place to ask for details.
  • You shouldn't at this moment talk about any topic not related to the experience. Neither about work, nor about mutual acquaintances, nor on any extraneous topics.
  • Don't appeal to your experience, even if you have experienced a similar grief. “Girlfriend, I know how hard it is for you, I also lost...”, even if said sincerely, at the moment of grief it can be perceived inadequately.
  • Intrusive or banal advice, like “You must live for the sake of...”, “You need to calm down, wait out the time”, etc. - all this is stupid and unnecessary in moments of grief.

It’s impossible not to list all the “impossible” ones. Use common sense, a sense of proportion, be sincere and sympathetic. Be short and concise. Remember that sometimes it is better to remain silent and abstain than to talk idle talk or be tactless.

How to write a letter of condolence

It is not always possible to express condolences in person, and then in the very first days after death a letter of sympathy should be sent.

Written condolences on a postcard appropriate as an addition to a discreet funeral bouquet (red, white colors) or together with some amount of money, if it is, say, a benefit or just financial assistance from an enterprise. Design matters: you can’t write condolences on a bright holiday or greeting card. Use special ones, or take a completely neutral card with a restrained design.

Email condolences it should also be concise, sincere, but restrained. The title should already contain words of condolences. So, it is incorrect to indicate “Condolences on the death of so-and-so” in the subject line of the letter, but the correct one would be: “[Name], my condolences on the death of your father/(mother).” Before you press the “send” button, read the condolences through the eyes of a grieving person. It should be short, to the point, without fluff or tactlessness. Below are examples of written condolences.

Time is no longer a doctor.
Your abrasions and wounds.
On the scars of failure.
Will not apply balm.

It was just you, and no.
In this chaos of days.
Smoke from cigarettes.
Silhouette of shadows.

Passenger on the subway.
A mute musician.
Pierrot was in love.
Drunk and young.

A drop of poison from a needle.
And church candles.
Part of someone's game.
The result is a draw.

White snow in the fields.
Sad in the sky with the Moon.
News from distant lands.
Or just yourself.....

Yura Galochkin

But just a grave cross
Yes, lumps of raw clay...
The path is uneven and short,
Where it's half confused.
Framed by a mournful face,
First name, middle name and dates.
Don't cry
Don't get drunk
As we once could.
But they were just nearby,
You gave everything you have in yourself...
We haven't forgotten anything,
No one was betrayed.
But all I did was live like people,
With original rightness.
And I breathed with a cold chest
And he laughed carelessly.
But all he did was be my friend.
Is it a lot or a little?
And the fate of the sovereign...

Dear friend, you have been sick for a long time,
But I couldn’t save you!
Death turned out to be stronger than me.
Forgive me, I beg you!

You always protected me!
I will never forget
How you growled at the evil dogs,
Attacking us from the bushes.

Even though you were small in stature,
You could protect me
From cruel hungry wolves,
From criminals and thieves!

The children grew up with you.
We all lived as one family!
You have always been obedient
Even though I scolded you sometimes!

And now my soul hurts,
Like conscience...

For the departed, tablecloth for the journey.
For a visitor, a hospitable home.
For the lost, a guide to help.
The finder gets to save everything.
To the ignorant - to know all the secrets of knowledge
To the one who has learned, to teach others a lesson.
To those who have achieved medals and recognition,
And don't get caught up in the vanity flow.

He who sings cannot sing the last song.
The silent one still has time to say.
To the living - yes, to avoid illness,
And for a sleeper, it doesn’t take long to wrinkle the bed.
For the past, take your sorrows with you.
Become a truly fine day.
To the coming one, so that there are no pits...

Departed loved ones... tears are choking
Because this is all irreversible,
No...they haven't invented anesthesia yet -
To relieve the pain of losing loved ones...

And you can only quietly pray
For everyone who is not with us at this hour,
And wash your darling with water,
The water that people call tears.

It will suddenly feel a little better, maybe
And memory will gently knock on your heart,
And the one who was most dear to you,
Will briefly burst into life with poetry...

And the sun will become brighter for a minute,
And the pain will leave its former abode,
AND...

Friend, he is the first and the faithful
But there is no such thing as nervous and nasty.
Friend, he can be old and sensitive
But there is no such thing as mean and creepy.

We identify friends by school
In studies, where knowledge is given.
According to soldier's, prison bondage
Everyone gives out rank in their own way.

But we go through life alone
Only by chance does fate bring you together.
Grief, holidays, choosing a road
We remember those who have passed away, in memory of deeds.

Another life -
Only a month, two, six months.
Let another life fill your soul.
Everything is fine,
But why nature
Does rain predict sadness in my life?
The last kiss as summer ends
It's cooled down. Now cold as ice.
He was erased from his lips - a sad sign
And the heart doesn’t expect any more warmth.
Another life -
Other thoughts, destinies, people.
I really need this for
To understand that life will be different,
Nothing from the past is needed.

A friend ceases to be a friend.
Everything is still moving in circles,
And congratulations on the New Year
We are still in a hurry to send to each other.
We are still looking for mutual meetings.
But suddenly the conversation becomes lengthy.
And speech, you see, is no longer speech -
Diplomatic notes.
When someone else takes a risk with me
Blaspheme him with an open soul,
Having crushed the patina of alienation,
I still rush to the defense.
But in silence, alone
With myself and my conscience,
Direct question: “Is he my friend?” -
I don’t dare ask myself any more.

For us he is alive and somewhere nearby,
In memories, in heart and in dreams
The soul is always alive, it knows everything
And he sees how we are suffering now!
There is more than one angel in the sky,
And this is obvious, I know for sure!
Today, tomorrow and throughout life
We remember, love and mourn!

I asked God to return everything,
It was as if he didn't want to hear me,
I've walked a short life's path,
We won't be able to see you again...

When we met secretly,
When we played checkers
Everything was cool then
You were with us Arkashka!

Now you're not there,
Imbued with sadness
I remember all the time
And I really miss you...

Perhaps you came
Well, for God's sake I ask you:
"You come to me more often,
I'm always looking forward to seeing you!"

I feel bad without him... Unbearable
I just exist, I don't live
Oh, Lord, give me some strength!
I don't ask for more anymore

Separation is cutting more and more, suffocating
No air. Only bitter blue smoke
All sounds strain the ear and soul,
And the world somehow became empty and gray

Closing my eyes, I imagine that he is nearby,
Will make your heart tremble in your chest,
His face with an empty and sad look
And quietly I whisper: "Don't go..."

The soul shrinks into a ball,
He was given a short sentence...
And he couldn't do much
Although I wanted to live and could continue to live,
But alas...
The time is over and life is too short...
And it’s not easy to part, but you can’t get anything back,
And a sharp knife for the heart...
And it’s better not to touch anything,
Wanted to help? well...
There's nothing you can do to help
And the strip of the knife will not grow together
You're dying slowly
You scream as if you're not breathing
But all in vain... He left for another world forever...

You left, the whole world went dark...
my heart is beating barely audibly...
I don't believe you're gone.
Why did it all turn out this way?
You left, taking everything with you...
Tears froze in my eyes...
But in my heart there is only silent pain...
We will forever remember YOU...

Hearts burn and candles cry
According to our dear, dear ones.
And early in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening
We remember them, yearn and mourn
We ask for eternal rest for their souls
Let's keep the love and memory
And we pray on our knees
And again we yearn and mourn.

All poems are for you, my angel,
Pain pierces them every word,
And the soul cannot find its peace
Until we are together again.

You will live in eternal memory,
And no matter what anyone says,
There, behind the cemetery fence,
The world keeps your memory.
People like you will not be forgotten so easily,
Your eyes will remain shiny with tears.
And for a very long time people will still be
Carry you bouquets of scarlet roses.
Are you sleeping. But everything is so unusual.
Everything reminds me of you.
And only the rain is so quiet, barely audible
Knocking. As if he were saying hello.

It's so hard for me to live without you,
And you - you tease and worry.
You can't replace me
The whole world... But it seems that you can.
I have my own in the world:
Deeds, successes and misfortunes.
I just miss you
For complete human happiness.
It's so hard for me to live without you:
Everything is uncomfortable, everything is worrying...
You cannot replace the world, -
But he can’t do you either!

Our loved ones don't die -
They return with warm rain.
They even return from paradise,
To see how we love and wait.
Running through the gardens and across the field,
Having watered both the flowers and the forests,
Having breathed plenty of native air,
They rise up into the heavens.
They rise up with evaporation,
Turning into a cloud again.
And they spill again - like a downpour,
To see our love.
Our loved ones don't die.

There was a man and suddenly he was gone.
His heart stopped beating.
Mom is crying, my beloved is crying,
What have you done, you ruined him.
But everything could have been different
And don’t help your grief by crying.
You don’t know how to continue to live,
Only during life do you forget to love.

I can't hear my native voice,
No kind, sweet eyes are visible.
Why was fate cruel?
How early you left us!
The Great Tribulation cannot be measured,
Tears won't help me,
You are not with us, but forever
You will not die in our hearts.
Nobody could save you
Died too early.
But the bright image is your dear
We will always remember...

When someone closest to you leaves,
Dear, beloved person.
The whole world will appear as a bitter drama
Where everything turns black, even the snow.
And never! Nothing in the world
The warmth of their hands cannot be replaced.
While you're alive, don't skimp
Give your love to your family...

You have gone into holy eternity,
And our pain cannot be helped,
And the name of pain is infinity...
You left us for another world - there,
From where there is no return,
Leaving a memory of yourself, love,
Sadness and pain of loss.
You reign in heaven,
And we should bring roses to the grave.
May the earth rest in peace to you,
And the soul - eternal peace.

Words cannot express the pain of loss,
Nobody knows when trouble will come.
Fate alone is to blame for this,
That You left us forever, forever.
May it be easy for you there,
And the memory of You will remain here with us.
Sleep well, swan's down to you,
And for the soul - the Kingdom of Heaven.

You have gone into holy eternity, and our pain cannot be helped,
and the name of pain is infinity...
You left us for another world - where there is no return,
leaving memories of yourself, love, sadness and pain of loss.
You reign in heaven, and we carry roses to the grave.
May the earth rest in peace to you and eternal peace to your soul.

Hello, dear readers! When loved ones die, it is a great sorrow that is very difficult to survive. At this moment, words of participation, words of support from people around you are important. But not all people know how to express condolences. The expert advice collected in this article will help you.

Funeral words

Condolences- these are sympathetic words of grief that are expressed to a person who has suffered a loss. At a subconscious level, we roughly know how to behave in pleasant life situations, what words to say on holidays and birthdays. And regarding the death, we don’t know what to say, we are immediately lost, especially when we are not ready for such a loss.

For most people, such events are difficult to understand and accept, so words are not immediately found that could help a person come to terms with the death of a loved one.

We all understand that those people who have suffered loss are so vulnerable that they feel any insincerity in words.

At this moment they are looking for participation and support, so it is important to watch the phrases so that an accidentally escaped word does not add to the emotional pain.

Sometimes it is better to remain silent, come up, just hug the person, thereby showing your sympathy and understanding of the loss.

We will try to help you choose the right words that will give the person a feeling of your support and sincere sympathy.

Your words should convey depth, sincerity, and readiness to help. A grief-stricken person will not be able to understand your long speech, so the words of grief should be short but succinct.

It is important to sympathize in person in a timely manner, send a telegram or send an SMS. But you can resort to SMS only as a last resort. SMS fails to convey the sincerity of your participation. Do not choose template texts, it is better to write from the heart, in your own words.

Find brief words of consolation and support. You can compose a poem, but on the first day of the death of someone close to you, you are unlikely to find understanding. If you are relatives, you must remember all death anniversaries. For the first anniversary, you can write your sincere poem next to the photograph of the deceased. It will be appropriate!

In connection with the death of any person in a cemetery or at a memorial table, speeches must be made. In this case, mention the virtues of the deceased.

Say that it will be difficult not to remember him when you complete a project he has not completed or when you go fishing, barbecue, and so on.

If this is a woman, then say that bachelorette parties will not take place without her or that there will be no one to borrow an embroidery pattern from. There is something kind and sincere to say about every person.
