Condolence messages for losing a family member.
For more personal condolences, anecdotes are appropriate. Start with a message of sympathy, then support, followed by a fond memory of the loved one lost.
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your [family member]. I will hold the memories we shared together so close to my heart.
A mother is with us always, first in her lifetime, then forever in our memory.

My heart goes out to the family as we fondly remember our grandmother. We are eternally grateful for all that she has done for us. She will be missed by many.
Religious condolence messages.
Faith can inspire someone in grief with the strength they need during a challenging time. Be thoughtful of the recipient's relationship with religion and offer a message that resonates with that. Relevant quotes can be added to enhance your showing of support.
May God give peace to the soul.
My heartfelt condolences. I pray that you are surrounded by God’s comforting love.
Through God’s love, I pray that He grant you the comfort that He alone can give. My heart is with you.

Condolences to a friend who lost someone special.
Sympathy, support, and a personal message are the perfect foundation for a condolence card for a friend. Make it more meaningful by offering something thoughtful meant specifically for that friend: a way to cheer them up that perhaps only you know-how.
Your [loved one] impacted the world in so many beautiful ways. They will be remembered with love and joy.
My heart goes out to you. I know this is a difficult time but remember you are not alone, and that I am always here to support you with love and a shoulder to cry on.

Loss of a co-worker sympathy card messages.
Take time to reflect on the impact of the co-worker’s life on your own and how to best memorialize them in a few meaningful words. If you are writing a card for someone who works at a different place than yourself, think about how to best offer support to their community and workplace during this time.
Sharing in your sorrow. My sincerest condolences, with love and comfort.

Loss of a pet sympathy card messages.
The loss of an animal companion often carries as much weight as the loss of a loved one. Show your full support for the recipient, along with a note that gently commemorates the pet's life.
[Pet name] was the luckiest dog in the world to have you to love him. We will hold his memory so close to our hearts.
Sharing in your sorrow as [pet name] will be missed by so many. There was never a day she didn’t put a smile on my face. Sending you all my love and support.
