are grieving.
 Support: It provides emotional support and shows the bereaved person that they are not

to hear about the passing of [Name].").
 Personal reflection or memory: Share a personal memory or story, or mention the qualities
of the deceased that you admired (e.g., "I will always remember [Name]'s kindness and
warmth. They brought so much joy to those around them.").
 Offer support: Let them know you are there for them if they need anything (e.g., "Please
don't hesitate to reach out if you need someone to talk to or need help with anything.").

Example of a condelences note

Dear Jane,

I was heartbroken to hear about the passing of Malulu. Please accept my deepest condolences
during this difficult time.

I will always remember him for his infectious laughter and the genuine kindness they showed to
everyone. They truly made a positive impact on all of us who knew them.

Please know that I am here for you and your family. If there’s anything you need or if you just
want to talk, don’t hesitate to reach out.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Titus.
