Condolence: An expression used to let someone know you share their sorrow or grief. We all feel heartbroken when our friends or family lose a loved one. These are moments when we often don’t know what to say or what to do. What is known, however, is that for those who have suffered the irreparable loss of a loved one, it is comforting to receive support from their closest circle through words and gestures, even if we fear those words might sound cliché or empty. But… how do I express my condolences?
