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

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.

Well, making decisions during grief is one of the toughest moments in life. I'm here to help in any way I can. I can call caterers, florists, friends and family members. I know you're thinking about so many big things right now, so I'm bringing/sending dinner. Please make sure to keep drinking water and eat something, this is a shit time, but you need to take care of yourself too. I'm just so sorry for your loss and that you have to handle all of this. You are so strong, but I wish you didn't have to be. I love you so much.

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.
