What to Text Someone Who Lost Their Husband

Even though it may feel strange to text someone sympathy messages, many prefer this form of communication. Your friend may not be physically able to talk on the phone while grieving the loss, and they may prefer to respond to a text instead of talking on the phone.

1. “I am so sorry to hear this. My heart breaks for you.”

2. “Please know that I’m here for you.”

A person who loses a spouse may suddenly have a difficult time making decisions. Let your friend know that you are available to help plan the in-person or virtual funeral service, run errands, or pick up relatives from the airport.

3. “I heard the news about Mike. I can’t even begin to understand what you are feeling, but I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you.”

4. “I’m so sorry to hear about Bob. The 4th of July won’t be the same without his firework displays. He was loved by all, and we will miss him so much.”

5. “Please accept my condolences on the passing of your partner Juan. He was a thoughtful man with a wonderful spirit.”

6. “We were all shocked to hear about Mitch. Everyone in the office sends their love. Don’t even think about work for a while. We have everything covered.”

7. “Thinking of you.”

Compliment: “Benny was such a good dog. So sorry you’ve had to say goodbye to him.”

Share a Memory: “I’ll never forget walking into your kitchen and finding every single cabinet open and Fluff peeking out from a drawer. He was such a clever cat.”
“Lucas era un perro tan bueno y cariñoso. Siento mucho que hayas tenido que decirle adiós.”
