When comforting a loved one navigating grief, sending a condolence card, flowers, or a handwritten message is the norm. However, we live in the digital age, where text messaging has become another familiar and acceptable form of everyday communication. Therefore, another way to offer your support to anyone experiencing grief is with a condolence text message.
In addition to sending traditional flowers and cards, a short condolence text message can be a meaningful and immediate way to reach out. Simply seeing your text can be comforting and it shows you care, even if a grieving friend or relative is not ready to talk.
However, since text messages don't and shouldn't replace traditional forms of communication, remember to follow up your text message with a personal visit or a phone call when appropriate. If you’re not sure what to say in your condolence text message, you can never go wrong when you speak from the heart. Here are 20 condolence text messages that can offer love and support to a grieving loved one.
