Letters of Sympathy
Following are a couple of Letters of Sympathy. The first one came with the title "Jenna, I Should have been different." It's about a loved one's death some years back. Here it is.
*************
Dear Jenna,
I'm so sorry that your mother died, and that I wasn't the best friend I could've been. I know you loved her and that you were genuinely sad, and yet, because of my young mind, I treated it wrong.
Having my brother commit suicide the year prior, left me feeling emotionless to others pain. I became lost and indifferent to the deaths of family members of others. I did not know how to react as a sympathetic being when I found out about your mom.
You were one of my best friends, and even though that was almost 15 years ago, I still want to say that I am so sorry, not just because I was not sympathetic but seemingly apathetic, and because I didn't say the right things back then.
I hope you accept my sincerest apology.
I love you!
