Losing a loved one is always painful, no matter the circumstances. Writing up your own Condolence Letter to Family will give you the option to add a personalized touch to a Condolence Letter by including a personal story or memory when expressing your sympathy for a loss. Creating your own letter, particularly if it will be handwritten, will come across as more sincere and meaningful.
In the letter, you need to express your sympathy and talk openly about the situation. Do not try to avoid saying a name or talking about death, this may irritate the receiver. You should also offer the grieving individual a helping hand but it is important to not keep this general. Try to offer something specific on a specific day.
Offer the grieving individual a way to contact you and reiterate how strong you believe they are, mention qualities that will help them come to terms with and cope with their loss. Often, this individual may be left feeling confused and lonely - at times like this, it is important to show your support and sympathy.
