What to say to your friend who just had their partner pass away
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.
Oh my dear sweet friend. I am holding you in my heart and will hold you in my arms soon. It’s so clear how much you loved [Beloved's Name]. I am so sorry that this is now part of your story. I am on my way and I will stroke your hair, warm your towels and change your sheets. You are never alone. Your community and I have you, we love you. We love [Beloved] so much, and mourn the loss alongside you. I'm here to call people, share information and make plans as much as you need. I'm going to keep texting you to make sure you're hydrated. You don't have to respond. I love you, friend.
