Condolence

Condolences are an expression of sympathy to someone who has experienced grief arising from death, deep mental anguish, or misfortune.

When individuals condole, or offer their condolences to a particular situation or person, they are offering active, conscious support of that person or activity. This is often expressed as a "sorry." Often, the English language expression "my condolences" will be in a context, such as death of a friend's loved one, in which the one offering condolences is communicating a feeling of pity towards the unfortunate party. Or, alternately, it may be used as a form of sarcasm if the recipient suffers from, endures or engages in an event that the individual considers negative, but not in the sense of a moral tragedy, such as a death, etc, but rather a personal affect, like needing to go to work when they would rather not.

Example :

“Dear Joe and Sue,
Our deepest sympathies during your time of loss.
Please know that we are here for you.
With Love, Bill and Family.”

  ”Dear Joe and Sue,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
We are sorry for your loss.

Love, Bill and Family”
