Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As you decide what to include in the message, keep two points in mind. First, make it a personal expression of sympathy, but not about your sense of loss. Second, don't offer "life advice." At this point, soon after the loss, the recipient doesn't want your advice, only your sympathy.
