Sorry For Your Loss is a finalist for the 2022 Governor General's Literary Award for young people's literature — text. The winner will be announced on Nov. 16, 2022. Use some unique and different words to let someone who has lost their partner know you’re sorry for such an awful loss. Or comfort your own partner who has lost a close one. An easily-read tale of life in a hospital mortuary in the months leading up to, and the first horrific months of the Covid 19 outbreak.

All of these should be suitable for most situations. If you’d prefer to use your own words then try to think about what you would like to hear from someone if you were in that position. Whatever you need, I am here for you. No request is too large or too small. Any time of the day or night, all you have to do is call or text and I’ll be by your side. Sometimes the best messages of condolences are someone else’s. If you are concerned that anything you come up with will be inadequate, consider selecting a well-known quote from an author or public figure.
