Grief is a very weird and difficult thing to process when someone leaves us far too soon on this Earth. When a husband dies from illness or from accidents, it can feel impossible to move on from the grief and pain we experience after their deaths.
We hope these words will bring some comfort and solace to your loved ones in their time of need.

#28 Losing him is like losing a piece of yourself. I hope you know what an amazing person he was and how truly lucky you were to have him in your life for as long as you did. May his spirit guide you during this difficult time, my friend. I am thinking about you and wish there was more I could do to provide you my support.
#29 The last conversation I had with him was full of life, laughter and love. I treasure that memory close to my heart, for it reflects the man he was in his prime – energetic, vibrant, and profoundly alive.
#30 Death is an interruption of life’s journey, not the end of what matters or counts most. May you feel some comfort knowing that your husband’s spirit will live on through the many lives he impacted during his lifetime.

#34 No one deserves to face loss alone; we all need each other while we’re here and passing through. It’s the only way anything meaningful ever gets done. So take care of yourself, my friend – you are not required to do this on your own.
#35 May the memories of happy times together shine a light in the darkness that is now all around you. You will find strength knowing that he isn’t suffering anymore and never coming back into this world ever again–he has made his journey home to be with God after living his life fully right up until the end.
#36 I want you to know that you’re always welcome here no matter how often or for how long it may be; I am glad for any time we could share together before he passed away. His passing gives us an opportunity to appreciate the gift that life is and the people that touch our lives, especially during the times when we need them most. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything at all.
#37 The grace of God knows no bounds; He provides what nobody else can provide for us when we are in despair or lost in darkness–the light of hope. For this reason, it’s important to remind ourselves that everything will be okay – even if right now things seem far from okay. So just know that I am here for you no matter how long it takes until your heart heals again.
#38 May his spirit lead you through the days ahead with an abundance of new thoughts, memories, ideas and feelings so heavy with meaning that they will help you to gradually heal.
#39 There are so many things I wanted to say to him – all of them ordinary, yet meaningful nonetheless. But he is no longer here with us, and the only way I can reach out to him is by writing down these words in honor of all that he gave me while he was alive. That’s the least I could do for what his life has meant to me.
#40 The pain of your loss may feel unbearable at times; but somewhere deep inside you there is a place where memories live on–a place where you will always be able to find comfort when nothing else helps ease the ache in your heart. May it give you strength during this difficult time.
#41 Our lives are like leaves that blow in the wind; we live, we die and our bodies decay. But truthfully each leaf is far more than its mere appearance – it is vibrant with life, energy, knowledge and beauty that will always remain long after the leaf has fallen from its tree. There’s no greater example of this than your husband, gone but never forgotten.
#42 Our heartfelt condolences to you during these difficult times–my thoughts are with you today as I imagine you must be feeling many different emotions right now – anger, sadness, regret… You might even feel guilty for not being able to save him or herself along with your loved one who passed away so suddenly. These feelings are common amongst friends and family members who have lost someone suddenly to an accident or illness.
#43 It’s never too late for us to express our love in meaningful ways–so let’s continue making it count for all eternity, starting by writing one of these thank you messages that can help to signify how much your husband meant to you during his lifetime.
#44 He will remain with me forever – through memories I’ll cherish, moments we shared together and the times when he was simply there for me, allowing me the opportunity to repay him with friendship. With this in mind, please accept my heartfelt condolences while I am thinking about you during these difficult times.
#45 The bottom line is simple… may he rest in peace knowing that he has all our love and prayers during this very difficult time.
#46 One of the hardest jobs I’ve ever had to do was plan a funeral for my father, but it’s something that had to be done in order to honor his memory and provide closure for me and my family. However, not everyone is able to bear such a burden on their own – which is why we’re here to help you get through this difficult time while providing comfort during these sad times.
#47 He will remain part of me and always in my heart–even if he isn’t physically there anymore. So please let him know how much I love him with every beat of my heart; even though right now I am far away from him, I will always be with him in spirit.
#48 When you lose a loved one it’s natural to feel grief, anger and pain–even if their death wasn’t expected or caused by an accident. But during this difficult time, please remember that within your soul is a beautiful power – a light so bright that no darkness can ever extinguish. He was taken from us too soon… But wherever he may have gone, let go of worrying about any negative possibilities and know that he is in the safest hands possible.
#49 We may not all live such long lives; but even if we don’t get to spend forever together on this Earth, we’ll continue to be connected for all eternity through our love. So only love and happy thoughts will remain with him while we’re apart.
#50 I am sorry to hear of your husband’s passing; but even though he is gone, please try not to be sad – because although the world seems like a darker place without him in it, he will forever remain alive spiritually inside of us all.
#51 Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your husband… And please know that you don’t have to feel alone during this difficult time–because all of us here at his workplace want you to know that we care and more importantly that we are thinking about you all.
