Blogging condolencemessages.com - Started several websites as a hobby after I retired. Learned a lot about WordPress and SEO. Think my website helps people comfort and support friends and family members who have experienced a loss Though family losses, I noticed people are not comfortable expressing condolences and comforting the bereaved.
