What to say to your friend who has a child in the hospital


These scripts should serve as a guide for tough, trying, and tremendous life moments.

We’re here to support you in supporting your people. We’re proud of you. And we’ve got you.

Here’s what to say when you don’t know what to say.


Hey, thanks for letting me know about [Kid]. Is there anything I can do? I know you're overwhelmed, so no need to reply right now, but know that I'm on the other end of the line and I can Google anything you need day or night. When the doctor comes in feel free to call me so I can be your second set of ears. Send me technical terms to look up for you. Sending you all so much love and thinking of you all. Keep me posted when you can.


Text these scripts, email them, leave them as a voicemail, or as the basis of a phone call or conversation in person. These scripts can be used over and over and across all platforms. We hope they help. We want to support you so that you can support your people.
