Sympathy Loss

My best friend just lost her father suddenly. I never met her father, but I'm sure it was a good guy. I do not know what to say.

I'm so sorry for your loss, please know that I'm here for everything you need at any time. When she speaks to let you remember him, "too often people get short with people after the shock has worn off and tell them to stop talking about the deceased when in reality it helps enormously and provides closure.

I think that does surprise me to write a letter smypathy because it might just break their hearts even more .. but not in the wrong direction or anything. because when someone goes through something like that they can become very emotional about anything if I were you I would just be there for her and let her know that your there for her, even if it's just sitting there with him and watch cry. Now if she does not want to be around anyone who can get her a card and write something simple to let her know that you will be there for her and you will be there to help him through. Goodluck

The best thing to remember when sympathy is that nothing you say will really take away the pain. Avoid saying things like, "It is in a better place" or "Everything happens for a reason" or "I know exactly how you feel" or "You will feel better soon."

Instead, stick to something short, honest and straightforward. Something like: "I am so sorry for your loss. I will pray for your family at this difficult time. "

Tell him he is always with her and everything is beautiful and joyful presence in his life. Can be stong in this moment of pain and tell him you're there for her to lend an ear and give a hug whenever she needs it. That alone comfort her. I hope.

The letter is for her, then tell him you're sorry for their loss. Tell him you're there to talk or listen if she needs you.
