no-one can do this for you. Tell them what is in your heart it will be what they want to hear

I lost my brother and no one knew what to say. Sometimes there are no words. If you can, give practical help. They probably aren't taking care of themselves too well as grief causes mental shut down so take round a hot meal or buy food to put in their fridge. Offer to babysit any young children or pets to give them a break. And don't forget, most people disappear after 6 months as they think "grief" has eased. For some bereaved, THIS is the hardest time as the shock is wearing off. If you are a long distance away, send a letter telling them of memories you have of their child or even ask if they would like you to make a donation to charity. At the end of the day, nothing will ease their hurt so just love them and be there to listen when you can. Grief can be a lifelong journey. Best wishes.

No you do not.You need pieces of paper a fountain pen preferably with black ink some quiet time and just write your thoughts.Then rewrite them as neatly as you can in a letter.It will be so much more highly regarded than any card or somene elses words,let your heart do the talking.I'm sure you will not cause offence even if you express yourself badly.

What terrible news, I am so sorry to hear this. What an awful thing to happen. Your poor friends.
You could say something like: I know there is nothing I can do to ease your pain at such a terrible time, but I hope you know that I wish so much that I could. (i.e. that you wish you could make it so it had not happened - I am sure we have all felt helpless and wished we could wave a magic wand to help friends sometimes).

God looked around His garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the Earth and saw his tired face. He put His arms around him and lifted him to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.

All you can say right now is that 'He was a beautiful person and if you need to talk I'm always there'. It is sad to hear about something like this.

He is not lost forever
But just for a while
You'll meet him again
And experience that smile
Meantime, may family and friends
Comfort you
