How to briefly express your sincere condolences in your own words. Poems about bitterness and pain of loss

Climax

You left us so early
You left us alone
For some reason it was missing
Your tender words
You created us in this world,
You gave us a family
After all, you once wanted
Raise my family
There's a lot you didn't manage to do
Crying out your dream
After all, there is a lot to do in the world
It's hard to overcome life
To give your life
But it’s very difficult without dad
It's difficult to create your own life.

Letting go of a person is very difficult, especially if he was dear to you. You understand that you will have to live with the memories of him, but he himself will not be in your life. I must say that memories only cause pain if they are associated with someone who is gone forever. You try not to think about him, not to remember, just so as not to hurt yourself, but then suddenly you catch yourself thinking that you are really ashamed of yourself. It seems to you that you are not abstracting yourself from the pain, but that you are vilely forgetting the one you honestly valued.
At first, I tried not to think about my grandmother at all, because every moment that surfaced in my consciousness doomed me to whole hours of suffering and powerless tears. I did not come to her house while living with my aunt, I did not visit her grave for the first two years, I did not look at her photographs and did not talk about her with anyone close to me. Over time, I actually managed to dull the pain a little. I allowed myself to hang my grandmother’s photograph in my room, visited her grave a couple of times, and even discussed my feelings with my aunt, reminiscing a little about my childhood spent next to my grandmother. Years passed and I often visited my grandmother’s grave, looked after it, sat for hours at the gray mound, putting my hand in the damp earth and looking at the stone tombstone. Her stone eyes looked at me from there, but they didn’t have the same sparkle. I understood this, but I couldn’t do anything.

Lord forbid, I ask for at least one more day,
Without her in this world I am like a shadow.
I don’t want warmth and life without her,
I can’t and I don’t want anything.

Her last breath and tender eyes,
I will remember this moment forever.
I'm suffocating at night and the blow strikes again,
That moment has now become a nightmare for me.

With tears in my eyes, I hugged her
From hellish pain, I then shouted to you:
Why did you take my love from me?
I closed my eyes and walked her into the night...

And loneliness closed my eyes,
The soul is torn now, Love is dead.
At the edge of the abyss I shouted into the sky:
Now I'm dead forever! I have become a shadow!

I write to you again and again
I know you won’t read it anymore...
I write to you letters with love
I write letters to you out of tears.

I forgot that there are sunrises,
I forgot what a sunset is...
There is no you, you are in the sky somewhere
My life is like a cool waterfall...

Your death took my soul
My heart burned out a long time ago.
Like winter took away my summer,
So I was covered in snow...

I can't see, my eyes are dim
And now I have wrinkles.
I've aged a century in a week
Death took you from me.

I write to you again and again
About myself and about our love.
I write letters to you, but I know
That you will never read them...

The last handful of earth
In my hands I hold my dear,
The last handful of earth
I'll throw it standing at the edge...

Everything was covered with earth,
Love, dreams and hopes..
Left alone with you
Life will not be the same as before...

Friends are long gone
Relatives don’t interfere now,
Pieces of my soul
They fly quietly into the cemetery.

I look into the distance, into the darkness
And tears burn me.
I'm lying next to you,
Hugging your grave...

You came to me like a summer rain,
These drops are incredibly bitter.
I only regret that
That he couldn't be sincere with me.

loss of a loved one

Condolences on the occasion of death will show true empathy for the loss of a person who is experiencing great shock and needs moral support. Death is always around us, but we notice it only when it knocks on our house or the house of a truly loved one. Such a death takes you by surprise and no one is ever prepared for the fact that on that day they lost someone dear to them. As Bulgakov once noted in his immortal masterpiece, the problem is not that man is mortal. The main problem is that he is suddenly mortal.

Condolences in verse

When parents leave
The light in the window fades forever.
Father's house is empty and maybe
I dream much more often.

* * *
Sleep, my angel, peacefully and sweetly.
Eternity will take you into its arms.
You held yourself with dignity and steadfastness
Survived these hellish torments.

* * *
On this day full of heartache,
We sympathize with your misfortune,
Our life, unfortunately, is not eternal,
Every day we are getting closer to the line...
Our condolences... Strength of spirit
We wish you at this moment,
May the earth rest in peace to those close to you,
May the Almighty protect you from troubles.

And time suddenly stopped.

Well, why did this all happen?!

Thank you, dear, for being in the world!
Thank you for loving me.
For all the years that we lived together.
I ask you not to forget me.

No one will replace you for us.

* * *
How we loved - only the Gods know.
Only we knew how we suffered.
After all, we went through all the hardships with you,
But we could not step over death...

What does true empathy look like?

Real support should not resemble standard ritual phrases that are said just for the sake of saying. These phrases will not play a decisive role for anyone who has just lost the most dear person on the entire planet. How to express condolences on a death? What rules should you follow so that your words of condolences regarding death are not perceived as words without meaning and content?

The first rule is: Don’t keep your feelings in your heart.

Did you come to the funeral? Come and describe what you feel now. Don't hold back your emotions and feelings. There is no need to be ashamed of what you feel. After all, it was not in vain that you came to this funeral and knew the person. Sometimes it is better to say a few kind words through tears and hug the relatives or loved ones of the deceased than to speak hundreds of words, playing the role of a great speaker. Warm words are what everyone is waiting for, from whom heaven has taken away a piece of their soul.

Second rule: Condolences about death are not just words.

Can't find the right words for this situation? Don't say too much. Sometimes it's better to just hug or touch the grieving person. Shake hands, cry next to you. Show that the person was not left alone in this grief. Show your grief as best you can. You shouldn’t do everything in a formulaic way and pretend that you’re very sorry if you’re not. A person will immediately understand where there will be falsehood and where there are true feelings and words. A simple handshake is a good chance to express condolences over a death for those who are not very close to the family of the deceased, but came to pay tribute by seeing the person off on his last journey.

Rule Three: Offer whatever help you can.

You shouldn’t limit yourself to just words of grief. Not only in word, but also in deed! This rule has always been relevant. You can offer your help to the family of the deceased. For example, a mother with children could lose their sole breadwinner, which means that all these people become victims of deteriorating financial conditions. It is not necessary to help with money. If you can help in another way, offer to help. Such a move will only confirm that you are helping not only with words, but also with deeds. Don't turn your condolences into dead sentences with your words. Back them up with action. Even banal help in organizing a funeral can become very valuable in the eyes of a grieving person who received a blow below the belt so unexpectedly. Do good deeds and they will be appreciated more than just words.

Fourth rule— Pray for the deceased along with people who have lost a loved one.

Sincere prayer can be seen from afar - that’s what all the priests and monks say. This is exactly what should be done in the case of condolences. After a few words, the grieving person should pray for the deceased along with the one who is now experiencing the loss. Prayer calms all believers and will bring at least a little harmony into the wounded heart of the grieving person. Prayer distracts even from the greatest grief. Ask God for consolation for those who are suffering severe torment and do not understand why fate took a loved one from them. The prayer will not take much time, but will leave a wonderful impression on those who are now standing in front of you in black clothes and calling on heaven for help and asking for a logical explanation.

Fifth rule - Remember everything positive that you know about the deceased.

In order to say real words of consolation, you need to remember all the best things that connect you with him. Did you play football together as a child? Come and tell me that you couldn't find a better teammate. Did he save your dog? Did you let me cheat in class or in university classes? Remember this too. Mentioning original moments from the life of the deceased will only make loved ones smile. If a smile does not appear on your face, it will be in your soul. The deceased could teach you a lot and bring you joy. Share your memories and in a few minutes you will do the impossible - give a spark of joy to those who are now grieving. Did you have a bad relationship with a person who left this world? Then you should understand that people close to him are not to blame for the small disagreements between you. Forget about all the problems that have happened so far, because when trouble knocks on the door, you should forget about everything.

Rule six: Don’t talk about how things will be easier in the future.

There is no point in telling parents who have lost their child that they still have a lot of time to create another small miracle. They should not give hope that time will subsequently heal all wounds, because it is at this moment that it seems to them that life will no longer be the same as always. This is precisely the greatest truth of life - everyone understands that life without a loved one will no longer be the same as before his death. Everyone who is now crying at a funeral has just lost their little piece of their soul. A woman who has lost her husband should not be told that she is a real goddess and will definitely not be on her own in this life. Condolences for the death of mom or dad should also not contain calls for future peace and consolation. Let the person grieve the loss and don't talk about future prospects. Any words about the future will be superfluous, since no one believes in it now and will not see the picture you paint.

Seventh rule: Don’t say that everything will pass. Don't say that you shouldn't cry and grieve.

Most people who say these things have never lost a loved one. Just yesterday a person kissed in bed and drank morning dark tea with his beloved, and in the evening she may no longer be in this world. Just yesterday children quarreled with their parents, but tomorrow they may not be there. Just yesterday there was a party with friends, and tomorrow one of them may be taken away by the sky. And the understanding that you can’t bring your loved one back is the worst thing that can happen in this life. Therefore, there is no need to say that crying will not help here. There is no need to say that you shouldn’t grieve and “destroy” yourself morally so much. There is no need to play the role of a psychologist and delve into the psychological state of a person in grief. The first person who says that there is no point in crying only proves that he does not understand the mourner. There is no way to bypass serious stress - just let a person cry who cannot understand why he has now lost the meaning of his life.

Eighth rule - Forget about empty words, among which the most popular phrase is “Everything will be fine”!

Don't make promises you can't keep. Do not talk about optimistic plans for a person, because he will not perceive it the way you want to present it. A person does not want to hear platitudes and excuses that are so formal that they have become traditional. It is better to help with deeds, rather than saying traditional phrases from films where the main characters are often buried.

Ninth rule - Don't be shy about your feelings!

You came to a funeral, not a holiday. Therefore, be prepared that you will want to hug the relatives of the deceased even when you do not know them at all. In grief, everyone is the same. Don’t be shy about feelings that can cover you in a big wave. Do you want a hug? Hug! Would you like a handshake or a touch on the shoulder? Do it! Did a tear roll down your cheek? Don't turn away. Swipe it away. May you be one of those who came to this funeral for a reason. You have come to a loved one who deserves this.

The main conclusion that can be drawn, taking these rules into account, is that you should avoid cliched words of condolences to the relatives of the deceased and actions that will not bring any benefit. Tactless phrases will not do any good. There are words that will only once again cause misunderstandings on the other side, not to mention possible aggression, insult or even disappointment. Perhaps you were a close person to the deceased, and now you are not behaving as his family expects. You must enter the state of shock in which the person is now. Put yourself in the place of the grieving person and then you will understand how to behave correctly. Do not forget that everything you say may not be perceived as it sounds in your mouth. The psychological burden on those who lose a loved one is incredibly large and this is the decisive moment.

What can you offer a grieving person at a funeral?

Ask how you can help. Perhaps the matter will not be in the material dimension at all, although money in this case is never superfluous. The family of the deceased may entrust you to go to the priest or simply agree on the purchase and transportation of the coffin. A small favor to the family, which is now in a difficult state, will not be superfluous. Indeed, at this moment, none of the deceased’s relatives can adequately assess the situation and their thoughts are not at all about the problematic aspects of organizing a funeral. Have you heard that even after a murder, friends of the deceased say that they must first bury him with honors, and only then look for the killer? The point is that the etiquette of expressing condolences is very interconnected with funerals. Do your best to make sure this funeral goes well, because every person deserves to pass away with the respect of others.

Offer your help in any way. Help will be received well in any case, and even if you are refused, they will still be pleased. Even ordering memorial cards for invitations to funerals or helping to accommodate guests from distant cities in your home would be a wonderful service. Just don’t talk about everything in such a tone as if you are offering just for the sake of simply offering. Offer specific help and receive real gratitude.

Be concise, like King Leonidas when he addresses the Spartans!

Words of condolences should be kept short. No one should speak for long because funerals are not the place for great speakers. Leave thousands of words to the priest who will perform the funeral service for the deceased. Keep it short and say exactly what you think. You should also not speak for a long time at a wake, since too heavy phrases cause distraction and lose their meaning. Don't be afraid to experiment in front of the mirror with a few phrases that you have prepared for yourself. Warm and sincere words are usually very short, like a declaration of love. Love needs no words, and the deceased is worth only a few sincere sentences. Do not forget that it is easy to feel false condolences, since at such times the relatives and friends of the deceased can boast of an increased sense of sincerity and falseness. Kind words can heal the soul and heart of those who are hurt or heartbroken.

What should those who had a conflict with the deceased do? How to behave and do the relatives and friends of the deceased need condolences from such a person?

Find the strength within yourself to forgive the one who was carried away by the sky. After all, death is the end point of all grievances. If you have done something wrong to the deceased, come and pay tribute. Ask for forgiveness in prayer, even if you are not sure you will receive it. Speak sincerely and the relatives of the deceased will accept it with honor. Leave negativity and unnecessary emotions at home. Do not forget that all grievances die with the person. Do you really regret your fault or just respect your competitor in some way? Come and show his loved ones that he was such a respected person that even his enemies came to honor his memory. Do you have a grudge against the deceased? Forgive and let go. Show this to his loved ones and they will be glad once again that you have forgiven.

Be original!

It's always better to come up with a few good phrases that are your own to say to the loved ones of the deceased. By coming up with these words, you can remember something from a person’s past. Perhaps you know something about him that others will not say. Perhaps you know something that your loved ones don’t know. Or perhaps your friend rarely told his parents that he loved them, but in fact always noted to his friends that he had the best parents in the world? Why don't you sympathize and remember this? Remember something interesting. Say something truly valuable to everyone.

What should you talk about during condolences?

Say that the person was not just good. Say that it is difficult to find words. Let everyone know that the deceased deserves more words than can be said now. Tell him he was talented. Good. Give examples that will confirm your words. Set him as an example to many present. Say you loved the deceased person. Let everyone know he will be missed. Say that this is a tragedy for you. Tell us about what you are grateful for to the deceased and what exactly he did for you. Tell those present that the role of the deceased in your life was great or, on the contrary, not so great, but despite this the world has lost one of the best representatives of humanity. Take breaks. Allow yourself to choose your words. Let everyone see that it is really difficult for you to pick them up. Tell the truth!

Will so-called religious condolences always be appropriate?

Religious rhetoric will not always be helpful, since the deceased could be an atheist or profess a different faith. You should not use phrases taken from the Bible in all cases, because this may not please many who come. Make sure you can afford it. Only in this case can you turn your words about the deceased into quotes from the Bible and supplement them with sincere sympathy. Moreover, the deceased could be an agnostic, like the people grieving behind him. In this case, you should also not speak in religious phrases.

Is someone who has lost a loved one really a believer? Then you can correctly select phrases from the church sphere, having first studied all religious epitaphs more deeply. They can push you onto the right path and thoughts. Just don’t forget that there shouldn’t be too much religiosity. In this case, measures are needed more than ever.

Despite this, religious themes in condolences will not always be a good option and it is not without reason that most people ignore them. It is better not to use biblical phrases, but to say in your own words what is in your soul right now.

Is it worth expressing condolences in the form of poetry?

Not at a funeral. Even if the mourner loves poetry, a funeral is far from the time to pay tribute to rhyme. Why so categorical? Funeral home experts know thousands of cases where such verses were too inappropriate, and there is one small reason for this. Poems of condolences regarding death are always perceived differently by people. 2 people can explain one line of verse in different ways. One phrase can have different meanings depending on the poetry of the person listening. This is exactly the case when poems of grief and condolences are extremely common and popular, and an obituary in poetic form poses a real risk of remaining misunderstood.

Is it worth writing an SMS with condolences?

Never write SMS in any form if we are talking about a service that gives you the opportunity to send a short message. Can't meet in person? It’s better to call yourself and don’t express sympathy in this way. After all, you don’t know at what exact moment this message may arrive, and its too short format makes the words too laconic. It will convey facts, not feelings. The person will not feel your voice. His timbre. Its emotional coloring. Moreover, messages in such cases are perceived poorly. Was it really difficult to call if you still found a minute to write a message? Perhaps you didn’t want to talk at all, but wrote a message just to forget about it once and for all and not feel guilty?

Let your condolences be sincere! These words are so necessary for those who have lost a loved one. They will be grateful to you!

Condolences regarding death are words of grief and complicity with which relatives, acquaintances and colleagues support the relatives of a deceased person. Such words are addressed orally or in writing.

Life is fleeting and sometimes ends. Even if a tragic event happened to people you barely know, the news of it comes as a shock. The deceased may be a distant relative, colleague, or housemate with whom they occasionally exchanged phrases. Expressing condolences over the death in this case is the only correct decision. In this way you show your sympathy and help cope with the surging grief. Of course, all this works if the words of condolences were spoken from the heart and selected in accordance with life circumstances.

How to Express Condolences

How to express words of condolences regarding the death of your family and friends, friends and colleagues who have suffered a loss? It seems that the words are banal and empty. But you definitely need to express condolences - this is a long-standing tradition of expressing support for those who are in grief. We empathize, which means we are together. In moments of grief, even a few words of encouragement can help comfort those grieving and show them that we are there and ready to help. How to express condolences is not so important: the main thing is to say something from the heart, show sympathy and support those who are grieving.

Verbal condolences to the relatives of the deceased

Most often, condolences are expressed to relatives in person, in writing or by telephone. It is preferable to verbally express words of condolences, especially if you live nearby or meet at work or other public place. Other forms of condolences are used when the addressee lives far away or when it is necessary to follow the rules of etiquette, which require condolences to be expressed in writing.

Another case of expressing verbal condolences is a speech at a funeral or during a memorial meal. Since such a ceremony is usually attended by people who knew the deceased well, it is usually not difficult to find sincere wishes.

Condolences on death in writing

Condolences for death in writing - ways of expressing:

  • By letter or postcard by mail. An old, but still relevant method. Often required by etiquette. Condolence cards should be selected in accordance with the sad event; the design should not be provocative or festive.
  • The inscription on the mourning ribbon. Usually it is an invariable attribute of a ritual wreath or basket of flowers. You can read more about inscriptions in our article Inscriptions on wreaths.
  • By email. Most often, this option is used to express condolences about a death to people abroad.
  • Obituary in the newspaper. They choose the printed publication that the relatives of the untimely deceased subscribe to or read.
  • SMS notification. If you are not a mobile operator, beware of doing this. It's better to make a quick phone call. Exception: the subscriber is out of reach for a long time.

Words of condolences

How to choose words of condolences for people who have suffered an irreparable loss? It often seems that all phrases are banal and can only offend the relatives of the deceased. Believe me, in moments of grief, any encouragement and manifestation of participation are very important. Those close to the deceased experience a lot of stress and are not always ready to show their emotions to others. Your support and affection will help ease their pain at least for a while.

Examples of verbal condolences for death

Funeral words should not contain falsehood or pathos. You say them to support the other person in difficult times, and not to express your own feelings. If you really have nothing to say, limit yourself to laconic phrases. The relative position of the mourner with the deceased should also be taken into account. It will be strange for a person in grief to hear “Blessed memory of your dad. Good memories are what will help get through this loss,” if in fact he and his father did not have the best relationship.

  • I am shocked by the sad news. Be strong.
  • My heart is out of place from what I heard. Rest in peace __.
  • I can’t believe that such a person left us. This is an irreparable loss.
  • The loss of a mother (father, brother, etc.) is always difficult to experience. We sympathize and empathize.
  • The deceased and I did not always find a common language. Now I would like to apologize for the disagreement. I'm not always right either.
  • Please accept our words of consolation. How can we help you at this moment?
  • We sincerely sympathize with your entire family. We know how kind and sensitive N was.
  • Sad event. This is hard to talk about. We hope he finds peace in heaven.
  • This is a sad loss. I'm sorry that she didn't live as long as she would have liked.
  • It is difficult to find the right words at such a moment. Just remember that you can always turn to me for help.

Words of condolences can also be more personalized. This is quite appropriate if you knew the deceased personally. When offering condolences over a death, one should not talk about bad things, for example, about the reprehensible actions of the deceased. Only good things should be said, focusing on what positively characterizes the deceased.

How to write a condolence

When putting mourning words in writing, the question often arises of how to write a condolence message. In this case, you should stick to laconic phrases. Poems of condolence for a death are appropriate for an obituary or mourning ribbon. In other cases, they will smack of pathos and pretentiousness. Condolences in prose usually contain 2-3 sentences. Brevity and clarity of content are more important here. After all, a postcard or letter will be reread several times.

  • __ was a kind and sympathetic woman. We mourn and remember together with you.
  • It is sad that the people dearest to us pass away. We offer our sincere condolences.
  • With the departure of __ we have lost a lot. We will miss her smile. Please accept our words of sympathy.
  • We offer your entire family our sincere condolences for your irreparable loss. May God rest his soul.
  • Our deepest condolences on the unexpected death of ___. We pray and mourn.
  • Everyone who knew __ is now grieving. It is unbearably sad to lose loved ones at such an early age. We will always remember him.
  • It doesn’t matter how long a person has lived, what matters is how much good he brought into this world. May God reward him for his good deeds.
  • We mourn with you this irreparable loss. We believe that such a bright person will definitely go to Heaven.
  • Only with the departure of __ we felt how great her love was. She will always live in our fond memories.
  • We empathize with you. There is pain for which there is no cure. We believe that the Lord will not abandon you in such a difficult moment.

Funeral poems and words for a woman, mother, sister, grandmother, mournful words in verse from family and friends That day when the light of Your eyes faded and your heart stopped beating became the most terrible day for us and we could not come to terms with it. A tear rolls from the heart, pain burns, the soul cries. We so want to bring you back, but this cannot be done. You left us very early, but we could not save you. A deep wound in the heart.

Words cannot express our pain and grief, a deep wound in our hearts. We will never forget that terrible day that brought us so much grief and sadness. Tears tear our souls apart, and every day we remember You. May it be easy for You there, and may the memory of You remain here with us. In sorrow we bow our heads at Your grave. Sleep well, our dear mother. The earth is swan down for you, and the Kingdom of Heaven is for your soul. You have gone into bright eternity. And our pain cannot be helped, and the name of pain is infinity... You left us for another WORLD - where there is no return, leaving behind the memory of yourself, love, sadness and the pain of loss. The Lord called You to Himself and left us sorrow and tears. You reign in Heaven, and we carry roses to the grave. May God protect your kind soul. May you rest in peace, and your soul - eternal peace and the Kingdom of Heaven. Words cannot express our pain and grief, a deep wound in our hearts. We will never forget that terrible day that brought us so much grief and sadness. Tears tear our souls apart, and every day we remember You. May it be easy for You there, and may the memory of You remain here with us. In sorrow we bow our heads at Your grave. Sleep well, our dear wife and mother. The earth is swan down for you, and the Kingdom of Heaven is for your soul. That day when the light of Your eyes faded and your heart stopped beating became the most terrible day for us and we could not come to terms with it.

You left us and left us with pain and sadness. Eternal peace to your soul, our dear. Kingdom of Heaven, may you rest in peace on earth, remember with us all who remember it. With illness and pain, people fade And dry up like beloved flowers... Like snow in the hot sun they melt, Today I am, and tomorrow maybe you... How sad and sad we are to lose loved ones, Kindred in spirit, close, dear, Familiar, undervalued, vulnerable , With whom we shared life for two... In the spring, loved ones leave in the blooming flowers... And in the warm summer - like healthy grain... They are found in the fall with ripe fruits... Winter sinks them to the bottom of their lives... We know that parting will not last long, But for some reason, sorrow ours cannot be appeased... It will be a duty to pray for our loved ones, And only God's grace consoles us... What a pity that we did not appreciate the departed, What a pity that we did not lay flowers for them, We did not sing holy, heavenly songs to them, We did not make their beautiful dreams come true... Oh, how there are not enough of those who have left now! Oh, how deep is the pain of their loss! Our heart languishes from sorrow, And tears flow like a river... You can console your soul with tears, But you still can’t bring back those who have left! To grieve immeasurably means to amuse the demon, And not to grieve means not to value the loss at a penny! And he remains, squeezing his pain with his teeth, At night, squeezing out a cry of grief, Seeming to be quiet and calm days, Putting on a wig of decency on the bareness of grief... And moving away from grief little by little, Humbling before the fate of the Creator... Surrendering everything with oneself to God, Asking for a blessed end ...
