Perfect for the victim of theft, loss, or violence, this condolence letter expresses sympathy for a plight.
Dear {Recipient},
I heard what happened from {Name} and I just wanted to tell you that I am shocked and horrified that you were the victim of such terror and violence. There isn't anything I can say to make it better or to go back and keep it from happening, but I wish I could. As it is, I'll just say that my anger on your behalf is matched only by sadness that you had to endure it at all.
I'm sure this must be a devastating, lonely experience, but please let me assure you that you are not alone. I am always here for you and as soon as you are up for it, I would like to come visit you. Until then, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
{Sender}
