Many people delay sending their condolences because they don’t know what to say when someone passes away. We search for the perfect comforting words, but worry about saying the wrong thing—so we may neglect to say anything at all. Even though it may not be easy, it’s important to reach out in sympathy. Your words can’t take away the pain of losing a loved one, but when accompanied by the planting of a memorial tree, they will go a long way toward helping a grieving person feel loved and supported.
