condolence letters

Grief acknowledgment mail

Condolence letters are written expressions of sympathy sent to someone who has experienced a loss, typically a death.

They acknowledge grief and offer comfort: She spent the afternoon writing condolence letters to the families.

The form is more formal and considered than a quick text or card, often handwritten.

Also called letters of condolence.
