Congratudolences is a combined word made from and expressing both congratulations and condolences at the same time, concerning the same issues and how that may be viewed as both a good thing, and a not so good thing.
Congratudolences is an idea brought to life by Katra Briel. Please use this handy and useful word. It helps express your understanding that some things in life are bittersweet and that those going through them at the time may need the encouragement of a positive step forward and the loss associated with some events we all go through at one time or another.
