After my mum died, my dad received so many sympathy cards and it was a comfort to know that our friends and family were thinking of us. Their handwritten words of sympathy for the loss of my mum conveyed warmth, understanding and most of all everyone had taken time with personal wording.

My dad has kept all the cards and quite often when I am back home for a visit I take them out of the drawer and read them. They bring comfort to me, even now, 14 years after my mum's death.

Sympathy Card Verses And Poems

God's Promise

God never promised a life without pain,
Laughter without tears or sun without rain.
But He did promise strength for the day,
Comfort for the tears and the light for the way,
And for all who believe in His Heaven above
He rewards their faith in His everlasting love.

Sympathy by Emily Bronte

There should be no despair for you
While nightly stars are burning,
While evening pours its silent dew
And sunshine gilds the morning.

There should be no despair - though tears
May flow down like a river:
Are not the best beloved of years
Around your heart forever?

They weep - you weep - it must be so;
Winds sigh as you are sighing,
And Winter sheds his grief in snow
Where Autumn's leaves are lying:
Yet these revive, and from their fate
Your fate cannot be parted,
Then journey on, if not elate,
Still, never broken-hearted!
