Sympathy shared with memories
from the heart
Sympathy shared with memories
from the heart

The more beautiful the memories, the more difficult the parting...

We may search for the right words, grieve together, look for support and combine our tears with inner laughter as we remember the past. Death is part of life and not an easy subject. Unfortunately, we will all have to deal with it sooner or later. Expressing our feelings allows special moments and memories from the past to come to the surface – and this can make the goodbye a little easier. We can join together in loving thoughts at this time of someone's final passing. We can remember a loved one together with a sympathy card, share our sadness and feel reassured in a time of unfamiliar quiet. It is also a great comfort to know that the person who has died will not be forgotten and will live on in some way in the hearts of others.

Beyond death

“Love you ‘till the end” – and forever after

We all have people in our lives who we are particularly close to. People we have been privileged to share countless experiences and special moments with and who mean a great deal to us. That's why it's only natural that we want to preserve those memories after their death.
 

Why do we grieve for people?

Grief is the realisation that life does not go on forever. That after they die, people will not come back in the way we are used to and our lives will change – nothing will be the same again. This realisation is very painful.

When do we stop grieving?

The period of grieving often ends when we start taking an interest in our own lives again, when we regain energy. When a bit of dynamism returns and we can start getting involved in new things and focusing again. This could be new people or projects, or simply when we find peace and can open ourselves up again. As soon as we can look back calmly, the pain begins to lessen.

What can help to overcome grief?

There are a variety of things that can help overcome grief. First, you simply need to allow yourself to grieve. Talking about your loss and the pain can do you good, as can writing down your feelings. For many, taking part in the funeral is a helpful way of saying a final goodbye. Treating yourself or finding a distraction can also help ease grief for a while.

What should you think about when writing a condolence card?

A sympathy card is a very personal gesture. So we recommend writing the card by hand and not using a computer. It doesn't matter how good your handwriting is. The important thing is to include personal thoughts and words to give the family some comfort and express your condolence and sympathy.

Should I put money in a condolence card?
In some countries and regions, it is traditional to put money in sympathy cards. The idea is that it goes towards flowers, or looking after or decorating the grave. It is up to you whether you wish to enclose money or not. There’s no right or wrong way to do things. As with other presents, it is a question of picking an amount which is sensible and fitting.
