Words of condolences for a beloved spouse

Dear Jill,

Wasn’t it just yesterday that you two finally got married and we all had such a great time at your wedding reception?  The day was so beautiful, the food was so delicious and that DJ that you found was really something.  To say that your friends and family are in shock right now would be the understatement of the year.  The both of you had so many plans and dreams that you had shared with all of us and it all seemed so perfect.  

The one thing that this horrible loss teaches us is that life is very short indeed and nobody can predict what the next day will hold for us or whether we will wake up at all to see the morning light.  Though you were married for a short time each memory is like a precious jewel to you now to be cherished and held close to your heart. Even though it seems impossible to you now you will heal in time from this most horrible loss and I am sure that sometime in the future your beloved would want you to be happy and show the world your special spirit and your capacity to love unconditionally which brought you to the altar of marriage in the first place.

Just as I was there to help you celebrate your marriage on that special day, now I am here to support you in any way that you deem necessary.

Sincerely,

Denise
