Sympathy Thoughts

Sympathy thoughts are always welcomed during those difficulty times of grieving. The thoughts sometimes help to lessen the pain and loss and show love, thoughtfulness and provide some comfort. Sympathy thoughts can be in the form of a card, a few words shared orally or a part of the funeral service as the rememberance or message. It is important to be brief and to highlight positive aspects as well as to avoid phrases like '~I understand how you feel', '~things happened for the best', and '~remember time will heal your wounds'.
