Words of Condolence

Bhutanese elders are very skilled speakers to render condolences to a person who is mourning a loss such as death in a family or a destruction of the house by fire. They cite the law of nature, the lifestory of the deceased and so forth to build a convincing and moving speech to console the person in gried.
