Condolence Letters
On August 9, 2011
Condolence letters can be the toughest letters to write, but that should not hold you back from writing them. In situations that demand it, it is particularly important to do so. They are a way of paying your respect to the deceased and offer words of solace and comfort to the bereaved family.
Acknowledge the bereft family’s loss without underplaying it. Only those who have lost their loved ones know what it is like. It is important to maintain the delicate balance between showing your sympathy and offering them courage to handle the situation.
Begin your letter by offering condolences. You can mention the special qualities you admired in the deceased. If possible, recount one or two memorable incidents from the past. Tell them how much the loss of the person has meant to you. You can also offer them your help and support in their hour of grief. Do not indulge in maudlin statements.
It is best to keep the condolence letters short, as a family in bereavement may not have the emotional strength to go through elaborate letters.
