my condolences
Words for mourners
My condolences is a formal expression of sympathy offered to someone who has experienced a loss, typically a death: My condolences on the passing of your father.
The phrase acknowledges grief without presuming to share it fully.
It often appears in written form—cards, emails, formal letters—where its slight formality feels appropriate.
