   Place a writing pad in front of you and begin writing words that describe how you feel. Allow the words to flow freely as you prepare to comfort a friend. Show how much you care for the grieving party by remembering the beautiful times you shared. Express your inner most feelings by writing deep, meaningful sentences. Use details that the person will appreciate and remember to spell names correctly.

   After you write your sympathy card, put it down and walk away. Clear your head of all your thoughts. Come back after 10 minutes and pick up your sympathy card. Read it thoroughly and evaluate the impact of the condolence card. Decide which words you want to remove and which words you would like to keep. Ask someone else to read your sympathy as it is always good to get an extra pair of eyes. Deliver your sympathy card to the affected party.
