Sympathy Messages

Sympathy messages can be one of the hardest things to write. When sending messages of support to grieving friends, colleagues and family members, it can be incredibly difficult to find the right words. For some, there may be too much to say that it simply won’t all fit on one card. For others, a simple message doesn’t quite seem enough. Finding the right balance when faced with the task of writing a sympathy message can be daunting particularly if you too are grieving.

To help you find the words you seek, we have compiled a list of some of our favourite sympathy messages. We hope they inspire you to write your own heartfelt messages or at least present you with a number of suitable options which you can simply use as they are.
