I disagree, it could also be used as a means of sympathy

According to the dictionary "Condolence" is an expression of sympathy, "especially" on the occasion of the death of a person's relative or close friend.

The word "especially" means more than usual and not something constant. So it could be used in other sympathetic situations as well.

That's my take.

The word is often used when someone dies. Why not just sympathize or empathize with the person going through a difficult time?

Hi everyone, I was going through an online platform of recent and this person used "condolence" as a form of sympathy for someone in a difficult situation (not dead). A lot of folks on the platform were saying it should only be used when someone dies.

How true is this?
