Offering Comfort to Someone Who Has Lost a Neighbour
Short, thoughtful messages to help you support someone grieving the loss of a neighbour or community friend.
Neighbours often become more than the people next door — they’re part of our routines, our support systems, and sometimes even like extended family. Whether someone has lost a long-time neighbour or a newer friend in their community, these short condolence messages offer a way to express sympathy with warmth, care, and respect.
