Words seem inadequate to express our sadness over ___. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead. We are deeply sorry to hear about the passing of ___. _ brought so many gifts to our life. We will never forget _. May you take comfort in knowing an angel is watching over you now. Words cannot even begin to express our sorrow.
A dying person’s world shrinks, narrowing to a few important relationships and the progress of his illness. When dying people aren’t allowed to talk about what’s happening to them, they become lonely, even amid loving, concerned people. They may feel isolated and abandoned, and in turn become resentful and angry. While there are countless themes in books, a few are the most common. These universal themes are popular among authors and readers alike because they are experiences we can relate to. To give you some ideas on finding a book's theme, explore some of the most popular and discover examples of those themes in well-known writings.
