Here are thoughtful things to say to someone who lost a loved one:

  • "I am so sorry for your loss. Please know I am here for you."
  • "[Insert loved one's name] will never be forgotten. What a blessing it was to have known them."
  • "Holding you very close in my thoughts. I know this is a hard time."
  • "If you want to talk or need anything, I’m here for you anytime."
  • "I can’t imagine the pain you’re feeling, but I care about you and am here to support you."
  • "It’s okay to feel whatever you’re feeling. Grief has no timeline."
  • "I remember when [insert fond memory of loved one]. They were truly special."
  • "You are not alone. We will get through this together."
