What to Say to Someone Who Lost a Parent

When someone loses a parent, the hardest part is often not knowing what to say. These are short, original messages you can borrow for a card, a text, or in person — gentle and honest, never hollow clichés. Take what fits.

Sorrow is not the opposite of love. It is love, continuing without its address.
Tears are how the heart speaks when the throat has given up on words.
Some sadness is not a wound to close but a window left open for what we lost.
The night does not apologize for its darkness, and neither should you for yours.
Grief is the rent we pay for having let someone live inside us.
