finding the right words in English can feel delicate. What matters most is sincerity—simple phrases like 'I'm so sorry for your loss' carry genuine warmth.
Avoid clichés about 'being in a better place' which might not comfort everyone. Instead, sharing a specific memory like 'I'll always remember how kind your mom was when she...' makes it personal. Offering ongoing support with 'I'm here whenever you want to talk' matters more than perfect phrasing.
