It is very difficult to express condolences when someone you know loses someone close. The biggest mistake many make is not showing any sympathy, assuming that the funeral is too personal. However, this is a misconception, and therefore it is imperative to express condolences. No matter how difficult it is.

Instructions
Step 1
If you want to express condolences to someone you see every day, for example, a work colleague, approach him as quickly as possible and say something simple, such as “What happened is terrible. Please let me know if I can help you with something. It's simple and to the point.
Step 2
If you were close to a person who needs to express condolences, you can write a letter to his entire family, in which it is possible, for example, to tell your favorite story related to the departed. When people are grieving, they feel a little better about how much others care.
Step 3
Try to think of ways you can help the bereaved (it depends on how close you are). You can offer to cook dinner or help with cleaning the house. But do it if you really want to be helpful during this difficult time.
Step 4
The best way to express condolences is to attend the funeral (and subsequently to the commemoration and meetings a week and a month after the funeral). The bereaved will appreciate the fact that you have come to support them.
