Tips for writing your message

When faced with the loss of a loved one, finding the right words can sometimes be difficult. The most important thing is to speak sincerely, expressing your feelings simply and authentically.

Here are a few tips to guide you:

If you feel sadness, affection or even gratitude for the time you shared with the deceased, don't hesitate to express it.
Mentioning a specific memory shared with the deceased can add a personal and meaningful touch to your message.
If you're at a loss for words, a simple "I'm thinking of you at this difficult time" can be comforting.
Keep your message short and sweet. At a time of grief, a clear, concise message is often more appreciated.
Make sure you also offer your support in practical ways. Sometimes offering practical help can be more helpful than words.

Above all, remember that a message written from the heart is always touching. Don't worry too much about saying the right thing. Your willingness to share a moment of compassion is what counts most.
