What to say to your friend who is planning a funeral for their child

Mar 4

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.

I am holding you close and I am here for whatever you need. I can call people, I can make arrangements, I can help with laundry or sending food. I can sit with the kids so you can cry in the car. This is a nightmare, but you are not alone. I'll keep checking in, no need to respond, but please know I am here for literally anything, day or night. I love you all.

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.
