Write a sincere condolence or sympathy message when someone has died or a friend is grieving — warm, personal, and free of the clichés that hurt more than help. Use when asked what to say when someone dies, write a sympathy/condolence message, my friend lost their [person], or I don't know what to say. Produces a heartfelt message tuned to your relationship and the situation, drawn from a specific memory or quality where possible, an honest acknowledgment (not toxic-positive platitudes), an offer of concrete support, and guidance on what to avoid saying.

# Condolence Message Helper

When someone's grieving, most people freeze — afraid of saying the wrong thing, so they say something hollow or nothing at all. What actually comforts is simple: acknowledge the loss, share something real about the person if you knew them, and offer concrete support. This helps you write that, tuned to your relationship, and steers you away from the well-meant clichés that sting.

## What This Skill Produces

- **A sincere message** — warm and personal, matched to how close you are to the grieving person (and whether you knew the deceased)
- **A specific touch** — a memory or quality of the person who died, if you knew them (this means the most)
- **Honest acknowledgment** — naming the loss and the pain simply, without minimizing or "everything happens for a reason"
- **A concrete offer** — real, specific help ("I'll bring dinner Thursday") over a vague "let me know if you need anything"
- **What to avoid** — the clichés and missteps that unintentionally hurt
