The Most Beautiful Texts For Touching Condolences

Last updated by Lauren Hart

Life is such that it always ends. It’s sadly commonplace, but death is almost always a tragedy that deeply affects those left behind. Absence is hard to bear, but words can sometimes be a beneficial support, putting a little relief on the heart, and if it doesn’t extinguish grief, at least it soothes it.

The Most Beautiful Texts For Touching Condolences

Writing to comfort a bereaved person

There’s no greater ordeal than losing a loved one. Words can be healthy to help those you love to recover from the grief of death and get through the stages of mourning. Comforting someone with words is often the most personal, touching, and beautiful gesture you can make to someone suffering the loss of a loved one. However, death remains a taboo subject sometimes, and we don’t always feel at ease with words, especially when it comes to expressing your compassion. That’s why I’ve come up with 5 texts that might inspire you or help you write your condolences.

5 texts to help a bereaved person

✒ “I can’t imagine how difficult the loss of ... is. How unfair and incomprehensible their departure may seem to you. I therefore send you my most sincere condolences for the loss you’ve just suffered, I renew my friendship, and my support and accompany you in your sadness.”

Grief text 1

✒ “I can imagine how difficult it is to carry on living as if nothing had changed. To do all those little things that make up our lives, while such an absence weighs on us. I’m well aware of the ordeal you’re going through, but I can only accompany you on this painful journey, sharing your grief rather than understanding it. No one can really understand what the loss of a loved one does to your heart. Let me be your shoulder to cry on and accept my deepest condolences.”

Grief text 2

✒ “I know that words can seem very vain in the face of the loss you’ve just suffered, the ordeal you must go through. I hope, though, that for a moment, just for a moment they will light a small fire in you, a spark, and lighten a little the weight of the absence you carry in your heart.”

Grief text 3

✒ “I’d like to take some of the pain you’re going through right now, but I can only give you my love and support. Saying that time heals doesn’t heal, and it’s not soothing. So take time. Cherish the memories, cry, scream, hit, insult life, and I’ll still be here, listening to you and reminding you, sometimes gently, that hope remains. One day your heart, so heavy, so wrapped up in grief, will be free again. And in the smile of a stranger, in the flight of a bird, in a landscape, you’ll find a little bit of ... and you’ll marvel at it.”

Grief text 4

✒ “I’m sending you all of my condolences. I imagine you must be sad and angry and lonely. It’s always absence and loneliness that come knocking first when we lose those we love. Remember that I’m here, that we’re all here. We’re all alone, but we’re together in this solitude.”

Famous words to help you grieve 📖

Great writers know how to find the right words. Why not draw inspiration from them to accompany, support, and comfort someone who’s just lost a loved one?

  • “The beauty of death is its presence. The inexpressible presence of loved ones, smiling into our tearful eyes. The loved one is gone, not departed. We can no longer see their gentle face; we feel we’re under their wings. The dead are the invisible ones, but they’re not the absent ones.” Victor Hugo
  • “You’re no longer where you were, but you’re everywhere I am.” Victor Hugo
  • “I don't like the word dead. You don’t die, you ride a rainbow stallion to ‘Lucy in the sky with Diamonds’. But if you’ve been naughty, someone will open the door and hum ‘Elles sont cuitas les bananas...’” Baptiste Beaulieu
  • “Death unites people, unites villages. That’s why we love it. Its threat brings people together. As you can see, death is the worst enemy of solitude.” Clara Dupont-Monod
  • “The night is never complete. There’s always, as I say, as I affirm, at the end of grief, an open window, a window of light.” Paul Eluard
📌
Words have a therapeutic power; they have a strong influence on our brains. They can hurt or help us to feel better, to heal. As well as conveying information, they transmit emotion, which helps us to clarify our feelings and strengthen our social ties. All this helps us to know ourselves better and to connect better with others.

Writing from the heart

If the examples above can help you write your message of condolence, remember above all that, just like a love letter, the important thing is to speak from the heart. A message will never be as good or as well received as if you manage to pay tribute to the deceased with kindness and compassion. Offer your support in a personal way, but without talking too much about yourself, and comfort with sympathy and love.

Editor’s note: Don’t talk about yourself...

When death strikes, when we’re told of a death, we’re never quite sure what to say or what to do, as each of us reacts as best we can at the moment. Take the time to put your memories and thoughts down on paper to ease the grief. Finally, don’t forget that these words are there to comfort you, not to talk about you or your feelings, so don’t stray from your objective... And if you feel that your relationship with death is complicated, that you’re not getting over the loss of a loved one, don’t hesitate to contact one of our psychologists to help you understand what’s going on inside you so that you can move forward.

🤗 Understanding yourself, accepting yourself, being happy... It’s here and now!

Writing is a beautiful means of expression that I cannot do without. It has allowed me to channel my hypersensitivity, plus I love writing about psychology and personal development. For me, self-understanding is the best way to move forward!

What Are The 6 Types Of Narcissism?

There are a whole range of narcissistic personalities out there, and they scale from highly toxic to rather positive (surprising, right?!). That being said, most mental health experts agree that there are 6 types of narcissistic profiles, which whilst they may all be based on an inflated sense of self-esteem, they are in reality all drastically different, and more or less severe. When it comes to dealing with this type of personality disorder, it’s best to know what you are up against, in order to react appropriately, as well as to avoid falling into their traps and becoming their latest victim. After all, knowledge is power, and that’s never be truer than in this particular context.

10 Weird Things Narcissists Do Sexually - Romance Is Dead

As with many things in life, narcissists also have unhealthy relationships with sex and treat it as nothing more than a self-gratifying activity. After all, manipulation, control, and emotional abuse are their so-called trusty weapons that they hide behind in most circumstances, so why wouldn’t they call on them in the bedroom too? The bottom line is people with this personality disorder are used to getting what they want and will only ever put themselves and their pleasure first, which doesn’t bode well for a healthy sex life. 🙈 Discover the weird things narcissists do in the bedroom and what you should do if you are involved with one.

Are Narcissists Born Or Made? - Let's Settle The Debate

There you have it, the nature vs nurture debate is back, only this time I want to focus it on those deviously manipulative personalities we refer to as narcissists. Now, evidently these folks get bad press and rightly so because they are often at the root of plenty of harm, but is it really their fault? Can they really be blamed for their terrifying and perhaps inherent traits, or are they simply just products and in this case victims of their environments? Let’s settle this debate once and for all and figure out how and when this disorder becomes apparent. So, are you born a narcissist or is it developed?

Why Your Boyfriend Gets Defensive When You Talk About My Feelings

Relationships are never exactly straightforward, and at points, a crystal ball wouldn’t go amiss when it comes to understanding what your partner’s reactions are hiding. Now, sadly not all of us own a trusty crystal ball, but our experience when it comes to love is just as precious in analyzing potential pitfalls related to emotions. This may sound a little cliché, but us girls love talking about our feelings, whether that be about when we are falling in love, or when we are feeling sad. Yet some guys get really defensive whenever these serious topics come round, here’s why.

How Long Will A Narcissist Rebound Relationship Last?

Narcissist rebound relationships generally last anywhere from 6-months to a year. Now, whilst the timeframe depends on each individual, these twisted personalities usually head into these relationships with a plan in mind, meaning they know exactly when and where they'll break things off. Plus, when they are in the final stages of a relationship with you, they are no doubt in the process of grooming their next victim. That's right, the need for a constant narcissistic supply means that they aren't likely to date any one person for an extensive period of time. For them, they require fresh blood every 6-months or so because they simply get bored. Let's take a look at the reasons why they keep their rebounds short, but not so sweet.

Is Sleeping With A Colleague Or Your Boss A Dangerous Game?

I’ve had a crush on someone at work before. Honestly, if I hadn’t found out later that he was in a relationship, I’d have gone all out to seduce him. Except that we all know the “No sex at work” rule, which means that it’s a bad idea to sleep with a colleague, or worse, your boss! Is it really that dangerous a game? What do you risk if you’re caught in the act? I’ll explain it all to you (yes, I did my homework before going for it)!

I’m Having Doubts About My Relationship

This happens often. Since life in a relationship, and even love, are never a smooth ride, of course, I have my doubts 😵‍💫. Not on the same wavelength, the impression that the grass is greener on the other side, different plans… Under the weight of doubts, love loses its splendor. Can it be fixed? I don’t think so, but the important thing is to know how to react.

What Is Candaulism?

Now, many of you are no doubt scratching your head wondering what candaulism means, but some of you must already know by now, and that would explain the recent spike in Google searches for the term. Candaulism is in fact a sexual practice in which a man exposes his female partner or photos of her, to other consenting people. This particular fantasy is therefore associated with exhibitionism. Although that’s not all, the term can also apply to a male partner watching his girlfriend or wife making love to someone else. So, let’s take a peep (get it?) at this practice.

Create a Peaceful Living Space

For years, I didn’t really take care of my home. Not that it was dirty, but there was no particular decoration, and most of all, a lot of clutter. Then one day, I decided to do a major decluttering! I thought it would be a dreadful task, but in the end, I realized that organizing my apartment also helped clear my mind. We often overlook this, but having a peaceful living space truly makes a difference!

Mature Love: How Do Relationships Evolve Over Time?

They say that love is like fine wine: it evolves, matures, and becomes even more delightful with time. I say "they say," but in reality, I’m certain of it. Even though I’m single as I write this article, I’ve experienced long-lasting love stories, and there’s nothing quite like reaching mature love—the kind that provides security and support. That’s why today, I want to talk to you about how romantic relationships evolve!
