Condolence Messages

If you are trying to find the right words to write in a sympathy card to help you lift the spirits of those who most need your support, our condolence messages are filled with kind and gentle sayings of care and concern as well as faith. You’ll find sympathy cards appropriate for any loss, as well as condolence messages specific to certain needs, like those for loss of a parent, loss of a husband or wife, loss of a child or baby, and even sympathy cards for pets.

When a loved one suffers the loss of someone in their life, it’s often hard to know what to say or how to help. Grief is personal, and we try to figure out the most comforting way to help them. It can be a challenge to strike the right tone for connection and comfort—but it is important to reach out and say something during this difficult time. Let them know you are there for them during this trying time. Brighten their day with your kind, heartfelt gesture.
