Here’s a letter I once wrote to friends, acquaintances, and people I reached out to when they lost a loved one. I’ve edited it to remove personal details and rewritten it so it can bless anyone who reads it.
Every line in this letter has blessed me deeply, and I believe it will bless you too. If you know someone who is grieving and you’re unsure how to reach out or what to say, this is for you as well.
Feel free to share it with them 🤍
Hi there 🫂
Hi there, I am Emmanuella Ubokabasi.
I lost my Dad on Tuesday, the 25th of June, 2024. I have been meaning and asking God what to tell you since receiving the news of the passing of your loved one. Honestly, even for someone who has lost a loved one, it doesn’t always mean I fully get it or have the right words to say.
I am also aware that following their passing would be an influx of messages and calls.
I was hoping and trying not to add to any overwhelming influx.
I hope you get the time to read this message.
Here I go,
Losing your loved one is a phase of life you’ve never experienced. I want you to take it easy on yourself
