When someone dies, it is common to freeze on the wordsâespecially when you need to send something quickly and you do not want to sound awkward. This guide gives you condolence messages you can copy and personalize in both English and Spanish, including condolencias en espaÃąol, mensajes de pesame, and frases de condolencias por fallecimiento. You will also get a few simple personalization âformulasâ so any note feels sincere, whether you are texting, writing a card, or sending flowers.
If you want additional companion resources to help you match tone and length, these Funeral.com guides are useful references: Condolence Messages That Actually Help, What to Write in a Sympathy Card, Funeral Flower Messages and Ribbon Wording, and Condolencias en EspaÃąol.
Personalization Formulas That Make Any Message Feel Real
Most people do not need a âperfectâ message. They need to feel supported. These quick formulas work across texts, WhatsApp, cards, and emailsâand they keep your message warm without making grief feel like something to solve.
Formula A: Name + Acknowledgment + Support (fast, low-pressure)
English: â[Name], Iâm so sorry for your loss. Iâm thinking of you and Iâm here.â
EspaÃąol: â[Nombre], lo siento mucho. Estoy pensando en ti y aquà estoy.â
Formula B: Name + One True Detail + Offer of Help (the most remembered kind)
English: âIâll always remember [Name] for [small memory/quality]. If it helps, I can [specific help] this week.â
EspaÃąol: âSiempre recordarÊ a [Nombre] por [detalle/recuerdo]. Si te sirve, esta semana puedo [ayuda concreta].â
Formula C: Acknowledgment + No pressure to reply (best for early shock)
English: âNo need to reply. I just wanted to say Iâm so sorry and Iâm with you.â
EspaÃąol: âNo hace falta que respondas. Solo querÃa decirte que lo siento mucho y te acompaÃąo.â
If you are unsure what to write in longer form, treat it like a two-to-four sentence note: one sentence acknowledging the loss, one sentence honoring the person, and one sentence offering support. That approach works for sympathy card messages and for anyone searching que escribir en una tarjeta de condolencias.

Quick Notes on When to Use Which Category
If you need condolencias por whatsapp or a fast text, pick from the âShort Textsâ sections and add one personal detail. If you need a longer note for a tarjeta de condolencias, choose a card message and add a single memory or quality. If you are sending flowers, keep the flowers sympathy message line short and sign your name. If you are writing to work contacts, choose the condolence message to coworker category and include an offer to handle one specific task.
If you would like even more phrase options (especially short Spanish lines that fit small cards and ribbons), you can also browse Funeral.comâs Spanish library: Condolencias en EspaÃąol.
