What to say to your friend who is taking care of a parent

Written By Genevieve Dreizen

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.

You know, this is one of those times in life we don't believe will happen, and now you're here, and I'm just so proud of you for stepping up and being so brave. It's never easy to see someone you love go through hard shit, and you are so capable and strong. Please let me know if you need to vent at any time, I'm always in your pocket. I'll check in soon, never any need to reply, just know I'm here. Holding you close!

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.
