Be comforted by these sympathy quotes. The loss of a beloved mother, father, brother, sister, or close relative or friend is not easy to handle emotionally. Without a doubt, it is always devastating and sometimes debilitating. No matter who the person is that has died, the anguish and pain are real - it can be excruciating.
The bonds and connections felt between family members are unique; it has no comparisons in society. This bond is especially significant between parents and their children who each are a singular creation between two people.
Throughout the ages, each of us has probably reached out to many of our own family to seek guidance, to seek support, or to seek comfort during stressful or anguishing events or circumstances. It is these memories of support and comfort that are on our minds when such a giving family member dies.
