When loss strikes, what you say or write can heal or worsen the situation. Heartfelt words in a sympathy card can offer hope to the bereaved. Don’t know what to write to your loved one facing loss? Here are 15 thoughtful sentiments you can express to show you care.
Comfort in Memories

People would say time heals all wounds, but the pain must feel unbearable now. Please know that as time passes, the sharp sting of misery will soften, and the beautiful memories of the one you lost will bring you solace.
Holding Space for Grief

There are no right or wrong ways to grieve. Take time, feel your emotions, and know you’re not alone. Reach out if you ever want someone to be around you—in silence for a conversation—while you grieve.
Offering Assistance

The last thing you must worry about during this challenging time is everyday tasks. What can I help you with? Can I pick up groceries, cook, or run errands? Don’t be shy to ask. I’m happy to ease your burden.
Strength in Numbers

Distress can make you feel like you have no one, but that’s not true. You are surrounded by love. We are all here for you. You have our support during this difficult time and after. Please reach out to us the very minute you need anything.
Acknowledging the Uniqueness of Grief

Grieve in your way, buddy. Take all the time you need to process your emotions and know you’re not alone. I’m here to listen, cry with you, to be everything you were to me when I dealt with my loss. Please, don’t go through this without support.
A Gentle Invitation

Words seem inadequate now, but I wanted to express my deepest sympathy. While there’s nothing I can say to erase the pain, I hope you find solace in knowing that many people care about you and are here for you however you need us. When you’re ready, my door is always open to you.
Strength in the Face of Pain

I can’t express the hurt of losing a dear person, but trust me, you’re not on your own in your anguish. Many strong souls have walked this path before you; their strength will guide you as you walk this hard journey.
Memories as a Balm

What we say may not mend your broken heart, but cherished memories can offer a balm. We can gather and reminisce about them, allowing those moments to cause us to smile amidst the tears.
Unwavering Support

There are times in life when we don’t know what to say. But even in silence, support can be powerful. I’m behind you unwaveringly. If you want someone to listen to you, cry with you, or do anything else, reach out.
Finding Solace

Sorrow is a journey, and getting past it takes time. As you move through the waves of sorrow, I wish you find consolation in the moments you shared with those you’ve lost. May they bring you peace in this difficult time.
Love’s Embrace While Hurting

When misery casts its shadow, the love of family and friends can offer a warm embrace. Don’t think you are alone; we are all ready to show up for you, however we can.
Deepest Condolences

Words seem inadequate to convey the agony of losing a special person. Accept my deepest condolences. Their absence will be deeply felt, and my thoughts and prayers are with you in this challenging time.
Strength in Shared Sadness

Grief can be a lonely road, but it doesn’t have to be walked alone. Sending you strength as you walk this rough journey. Sharing in your sorrow may not take away the ache, but it can give some comfort.
Finding Peace

Wishing you peace and comfort as you remember those you’ve lost. May the happy thoughts you hold dear bring a smile even amidst the sadness. Sorrow takes time, and I hope you find moments of relief in the days ahead.
Keeping Them in Prayers

May you have a reason to smile even amidst the sadness. You’re in my prayers during this difficult time. It’s okay not to be okay. I’m available whenever you want to talk to someone.
