Condolence Message to a Friend


A condolence message is a heartfelt or sympathetic message you send to someone in a time of sadness, specifically, during the time of death.

When a friend loses a loved one, one of the necessary things you have to do is show sympathy and the most acceptable way to show compassion is to pick out a simple, heartfelt condolence message that conveys your sympathy and try and be there for the friend as much as you can. Finding the right words of condolences to offer the bereaved is difficult. There are no right words; there’s nothing you could say that will make the pain go away.

However, these are short and simple condolence messages you can send to a grieving friend as a text message.
