10 condolence messages by text message

When is the right time to send a condolence message?

There is no specific time to send a condolence message. However, avoid very busy times for the recipient, such as just before or during the funeral.

What is the most appropriate way to send your condolences?

A condolence message can be sent in whatever way suits you best, whether it's by calling the person, sending flowers with a note, by email, or by text message.

And you can use several methods, such as sending a text and sending flowers during the funeral ceremony.

The most appropriate method will be the one through which you usually communicate with this person.

Generally, text messages are suitable:

• if it is your natural way of communicating with this person
• if you are not very close but still want to express your support
• if you do not want to disturb the person, if it is still too early for a call, but you will still call the person later when the emotion has subsided a bit

How to write a condolence message?

If you are close to the person, add personal details to your message, such as good memories with the deceased, or even a photo of a good time with the deceased.

If you are not very close to the person, opt for simplicity. It's the gesture that counts, and your support will be appreciated.
