The pain of losing a loved one cannot truly be described in words. It is rather part of an emotional language that transcends understanding, yet it is a fact that all must deal with. And, though words cannot describe the situation they can, at least, offer the deepest of condolences.

Condolences Quotes for Death

A person who has experienced loss is in a fragile estate and is hungry for condolences, but he or she is also sensitive to insincere remarks. One sure way to sound insincere to a person is to say something you are not confident about. And you definitely do not want to make a remark that might seem insensitive in retrospect, which tends to happen if one is not prepared.

These are some of the reasons why practicing the words that will be said and using the correct quotes before a funeral is important.

Consider some of the following most heart-warming quotes:

1. “I am saddened to hear about (the person’s name) passing. My family and I have you and your entire family in our hearts and prayers.”Of course using this type of quote means that you should know that the person you are talking to is religious, or it might not mean as much. This quote came from an unknown source.
2. “What I remember most about (name of the deceased) was…, which truly showed me what was at the core of (his or her) heart. That is what I will miss most about (name of the deceased).”Make sure that you know enough about the person who passed to have a story to correlate with this quote. This quote came from an unknown source.
3. “Claudia Ghandi once said that she would love to have a flower every time she thought of a loved one who is no longer here. What she knew and what I know is that we could walk forever in gardens filled with all those beautiful flowers.”
4. “Yes, it is true that death leaves a heartache that none of us can heal, but love leaves memories that no one can ever steal.”This quote was written in a headstone in Ireland by an unknown author.

Of course, these are just some ideas that may help guide you in the right direction. You can also sit down and write down exactly what your heart wants to express about the person you knew.
