You can express sympathy to someone who is grieving a loss. Petal Relations offers beautiful floral arrangements that will help you show your sympathy. The expression of sympathy comes from a feeling of concern and pity for the suffering of another. You don't have to know exactly what the person is going through. By showing concern and support, you are showing your support.
Flowers and a card that is heartfelt are two excellent ways to show sympathy. You may find yourself at a loss for words when you sit down to write the card, after receiving the floral arrangement. You may find it difficult to express your sympathy in a positive and supportive way without negating the feelings of the recipient. A simple, caring and short message is often all that's needed.
Have you got any questions regarding what to put on a card of condolence? Here are a few guidelines that will help you to create a condolence card that shows your sincere feelings. You can modify the card to fit your feelings and your relationship with your recipient, or you can use it as inspiration to create your own original expression.

What to Write for the Loss of a Child
No parent expects to survive their child. It can be devastating for parents to lose a child. You may find it difficult to find the right words.

- We will never forget your child or you. She brought us so much joy. In the days to come, we will think of you and your family.

You may write a sympathy message on the card by using
- You're in my thoughts
- My sympathy
- We extend our deepest sympathy
- Please accept my condolences
- We are praying and thinking about you
- We love and care about you
- By thinking about others, you can show care to them
- We honor the memory of (name deceased)
- Sending your loved ones a message of remembrance
- We miss you (name deceased).

What should you send to express sympathy?
Flowers can convey a special message. Start by thinking about the person who has passed. Send a bouquet that only includes their favorite flower.
If you do not have a favorite flower, consider the meaning behind the flowers you send. Chrysanthemums are used in funeral bouquets in Europe and many Pacific Asian countries as a sign of sorrow and grief.
Lilies are commonly used in sympathy arrangements. Lilies have a strong connection to Christianity and are symbols of innocence, which can be comforting for the grieving. In Asian cultures, the lily is also a sign of peace. Wishing peace to grieving people can be comforting.
Roses can be used for many occasions.
Crimson Roses make a beautiful funeral arrangement, as they convey deep sorrow and love.
If the deceased was young, white carnations make a lovely gift. They represent innocence and youth. They are often used as sympathy flowers because they represent admiration and love.
