What do you say when someone has died?

When someone has passed away, it’s often hard to know what to say. Grief can feel overwhelming – both for those who are mourning and for those who want to offer support. The most important thing is not to say something perfect, but to show that you care. A simple and sincere message can make a big difference to someone who is grieving.

Here are a few examples of what you can say when someone has passed away:

I’m so sorry for your loss.
A classic and respectful phrase that works in most situations.

I’m thinking of you during this difficult time.
Shows care and empathy without being too personal.

I’m here if you need someone to talk to or just someone to listen.
A kind way to offer support without being intrusive.

There are no words, but I want you to know that I’m thinking of you.
Fits well when you’re at a loss for words but still want to show sympathy.

I’m truly saddened by your loss.
A warm and human response, especially in personal contact.
