CONVERSATION GUIDES

Talking about death is hard — but not talking about it can be harder. Whether you're the one making a plan or the one supporting someone else, the right words can open doors, deepen trust, and make the next steps less overwhelming.

A good conversation doesn’t have to be perfect — just honest, brave, and grounded in care.

We recommend exploring:

  • Starter phrases for opening the topic (“I’ve been thinking about…” or “Can I share something important with you?”)
  • Tools like The Conversation Project or PREPARE for Your Care
  • Scripts for discussing wishes with doctors, family, or caregivers
  • Questions that explore values, not just medical choices

Sometimes the hardest part is starting. SCRIPTed is here to help you begin — and keep going.

We are looking for facilitators, coaches, clinicians, and doulas who help people have courageous, meaningful conversations about end-of-life care.

If you offer conversation training, printable tools, or support groups that make space for these talks — let’s connect.
