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.
