The saddest and most painful truth of life is that we have to say goodbye to every last one of our beloved friends, family members, and dearest ones. No one is meant to live forever. As painful as it is, the death of someone we know is a sad reminder that life on earth is transient, and we’ll all die some day.
It is often hard to find words to express our feelings when our closest one departs forever.

As we mourn the loss, it is also necessary that we have our feelings expressed properly. Here is some really good rest in peace messages which can help you in expressing your feelings for the loss.
