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


My love, I am so sorry that this is something you are having to live through. Know that I see how hard you're working to hold it all together and I am holding space for you. Please, please, let me know how I can help right now. I can call people, I can make plans. I can be by your side or be your bodyguard. You do not, not for one second, need to do anything alone. We got you. You are so loved.


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.
