Condolence Letters

Condolence letters are letters written to express sympathy and consolation especially in the event of death. A condolence letter can provide great comfort to someone who is grieving or mourning the loss of a loved one. Condolence letters let people know that they are in your thoughts and that they can trust you. Also, they give you an opportunity to share a special memory that you may have involving the deceased. The purpose of condolence letters is to support the bereaved and honor the life of the deceased.

The best condolence letters are those that are written from the heart. When writing a condolence letter, you need to try as much as possible to put yourself in the position of the person who is grieving. Keep the letter simple and fairly short. Assure the person of your support and offer a helping hand. Note any special qualities of the deceased including your favorite memory.

Extend your condolences to the rest of family members. Close the letter with a note of affection and support.
