How to express sympathy. Empathy and compassion: do modern people need these qualities? Written expression of condolences

Hello, dear readers! When loved ones die, it is a great sorrow that is very difficult to survive. At this moment, words of participation, words of support from people around you are important. But not all people know how to express condolences. The expert advice collected in this article will help you.

Funeral words

Condolences- these are sympathetic words of grief that are expressed to a person who has suffered a loss. At a subconscious level, we roughly know how to behave in pleasant life situations, what words to say on holidays and birthdays. And regarding the death, we don’t know what to say, we are immediately lost, especially when we are not ready for such a loss.

For most people, such events are difficult to understand and accept, so words are not immediately found that could help a person come to terms with the death of a loved one.

We all understand that those people who have suffered loss are so vulnerable that they feel any insincerity in words.

At this moment they are looking for participation and support, so it is important to watch the phrases so that an accidentally escaped word does not add to the emotional pain.

Sometimes it is better to remain silent, come up, just hug the person, thereby showing your sympathy and understanding of the loss.

We will try to help you choose the right words that will give the person a feeling of your support and sincere sympathy.

Your words should convey depth, sincerity, and readiness to help. A grief-stricken person will not be able to understand your long speech, so the words of grief should be short but succinct.

It is important to sympathize in person in a timely manner, send a telegram or send an SMS. But you can resort to SMS only as a last resort. SMS fails to convey the sincerity of your participation. Do not choose template texts, it is better to write from the heart, in your own words.

Find brief words of consolation and support. You can compose a poem, but on the first day of the death of someone close to you, you are unlikely to find understanding. If you are relatives, you must remember all death anniversaries. For the first anniversary, you can write your sincere poem next to the photograph of the deceased. It will be appropriate!

In connection with the death of any person in a cemetery or at a memorial table, speeches must be made. In this case, mention the virtues of the deceased.

Say that it will be difficult not to remember him when you complete a project he has not completed or when you go fishing, barbecue, and so on.

If this is a woman, then say that bachelorette parties will not take place without her or that there will be no one to borrow an embroidery pattern from. There is something kind and sincere to say about every person.

Instructions

A very common reason for lack of empathy is not the inability to feel it, but the unwillingness to look at others. Psychologists always note that married couples who have serious problems do not sympathize with each other. In this case, the partner is often perceived from a selfish position. Each partner wants the other to pay attention to him first, to do what is “necessary.” But the one who shows attention first will always win. Of course, attention must be genuine and disinterested, and not in anticipation of a response.

Empathy is understanding what exactly another person is missing. Sometimes it is enough to take a closer look at those around you to understand what they need. This allows you to deeply understand the needs of others and soften any relationship. Those who usually need sympathy the least are those who receive it least: children and the elderly. Empathy is the basis for establishing deep and trusting relationships with both the child and the parents.

The problem with showing empathy is often fear of pain or selfishness. Try to deal with it. If you feel that someone around you who depends on you needs help, then you will have to provide it, even forgetting about your own goals, which previously seemed to be a priority. For example, if you are a business person, then, sympathizing with your wife who is waiting for you from work in the evenings, you will try to come home early, although before this such a requirement seemed absurd.

Sometimes a person is accused of lacking empathy not because he really does not understand those around him, but because he does not express his feelings. You may care about someone, but if you don't say it, some people will sometimes think you're heartless. This is especially common for people who are not used to talking about their feelings. Try to be more open with people close to you. If you feel something, say so; such a policy will allow you to build trust and get rid of accusations that you do not know how to sympathize.

It's hard to sympathize with something you don't understand. For example, some young and inexperienced people have great difficulty empathizing with old people. It is not for nothing that they say that “the well-fed does not understand the hungry.” If you encounter someone's life experience that is very different from yours, try to put yourself in that person's shoes. Don't judge harshly, even if someone has made a mistake that seems unforgivable to you. In general, it is better not to judge anyone. You don’t know what you would do if you found yourself in a similar situation. When someone has a harder time than you, and you understand this difference, you feel the pain of this person - this is called sympathy.

Empathy is not only the ability to understand what other people are experiencing. It is also the ability to be attentive and treat others with tact and politeness. Try helping people. Create a habit for yourself of doing a good deed, for example, once a week. The feelings that come over you when you help someone will help you not only learn empathy, but also become a kinder and more compassionate person.

We intuitively and subconsciously understand how to behave in joyful, easy life situations and festive events. But there are events of a tragic nature - the death of a loved one, for example. Many are lost, faced with their unpreparedness for loss; for most, such events are beyond acceptance and awareness.

People experiencing loss are easily vulnerable, acutely aware of insincerity and pretense, their feelings are overwhelmed with pain, they need help to relieve it, accept it, come to terms with it, but in no case add to the pain with an accidentally thrown tactless word or incorrect phrase.

You need to be able to show increased tact and correctness, sensitivity and condescension. It is better to remain silent, showing delicate understanding, than to cause additional pain, hurt disturbed feelings, or touch nerves overloaded with emotions.

We will try to help you understand how to behave in a situation where the person next to you has suffered grief - the loss of a loved one, how to properly sympathize and choose the right words so that the person feels your support and sincere sympathy.

It is necessary to take into account the existing differences in condolences.

The form of expressing condolences for the loss will vary:

  • Grandparents, relatives;
  • mother or father;
  • brother or sister;
  • son or daughter - child;
  • husband or wife;
  • boyfriend or girlfriend;
  • colleagues, employee.

Because the depth of experience varies.

Also, the expression of condolences depends on the severity of the grieving person’s feelings about what happened:

  • Imminent death due to old age;
  • imminent death due to serious illness;
  • premature, sudden death;
  • tragic death, accident.

But there is a main, general condition, independent of the cause of death - genuine sincerity in the expression of your grief.

The condolence itself should be short in form, but deep in content. Therefore, you need to find the most sincere words that accurately convey the depth of your sympathy and your willingness to provide support.

How to send condolences over the phone?

In the case when words of condolences are spoken over the phone, you can (but not necessarily) add briefly: “May the earth rest in peace!” If you have the opportunity to provide assistance (organizational, financial - any), then this phrase is convenient to complete your words of condolences, for example, “These days you will probably need help. I would like to be of assistance. Count on me, call me any time!”

The most important and precious qualities at any time were empathy, kindness, responsiveness and love for one's neighbor. The main thing is to be able to use them and learn to manifest them. Expressing sympathy can be different for different people. For some, a sincere smile is enough, for others, a light handshake, and for others, an attentive listener will be needed.

You will need:

Understand yourself

In order to learn to properly sympathize and understand the feelings of others, you must first understand your own experiences. Listen to yourself. What would you like in difficult times, what kind of support would you like to see?

Listen with your heart

We don’t always manage to listen even with our ears, but with our hearts it’s even more difficult. With them we hear only those we love, those with whom words are superfluous. Remember a person who loves you very much. Recall your conversation. How did he look at you, what did he say, how did he listen, what movements and actions did he use? Copy his behavior. Try to understand the feelings of another with your soul, not your mind. Listen without interrupting. Look into the eyes. Hug and hold hands. Don’t rush to give your recommendations and advice, give them the opportunity to speak out.

Play your sympathy

Tell the person that you understand their condition. Tell me how you would feel in his place. Avoid humiliating words of pity in conversation. Also, do not try to encourage and say that this is a small thing compared to the world revolution, or that worse has happened.

Watch the man

If you want to learn to empathize and be compassionate, you must notice and identify people who need your support. To do this, introduce the following expressions into your vocabulary: “How can I help you? What can I do for you? Are you feeling well? " etc. Observe the behavior of the other person, his gaze, his mood. Then you can show your concern in time.

How to show empathy

It is not always necessary to show sympathy quietly and sitting opposite a person in order to help another solve his problem, sometimes you just need to pull him out of his state of stupor, give him the opportunity to be on his own, to solve his problem on his own.
You should know. Sympathy can be for the benefit of a person and to his detriment.

Correct sympathy is showing support and warmth to another when he is in a painful state of mind and body.

Compassion is considered harmful when a person sees your willingness to help and uses you for his own benefit.

Empathy Test

We suggest testing whether you have the ability to sympathize with others (empathy). Answer the following questions with “yes” or “no”:

  1. I get upset when I see animals suffering.
  2. When I read a book, it’s like I’m experiencing everything in reality.
  3. My mood is influenced by the people around me.
  4. I take the problems of loved ones to heart.
  5. I get anxious when I tell someone bad news.
  6. I like to communicate with people.
  7. I forgive my loved ones if they are wrong or make mistakes.
  8. I'm interested in watching people.
  9. I always try to help those who are weaker.
  10. Most of the time I am the one who consoles others.

If you answered yes to most of the answers, you are empathetic.
