To express condolence to a friend, it is best to offer sincere sympathy, acknowledge their pain, and provide emotional support. You can say something like:
- "I am so sorry for your loss. Please know I am here for you anytime."
- "My deepest sympathies to you. I hope you find peace in your memories."
- "Thinking of you during this difficult time. Let me know if you need anything."
- "There are no words to ease your pain, but I want you to know I’m here for you."
- "Sending you all my love and support as you grieve."
A condolence message to a friend may also include sharing a fond memory of the deceased or offering specific help, such as being there to listen or assisting with meals or errands. Quotes about grief and love can also be comforting additions. The key is to be heartfelt, gentle, and let your friend know they are not alone in their sadness and that you care deeply.
