Key Things To Know

Keeping people in the loop during a health crisis, major life event, or loss can feel overwhelming. A shared update page helps streamline communication and reduce stress.

• Centralize communication: One place for updates avoids the need to repeat information over calls, texts, and emails. It also helps prevent misinformation or confusion.

• Choose a trusted writer: Whether it's you or someone else, designate someone to share updates clearly, kindly, and accurately so others know what’s going on.

• Set expectations for frequency: Let readers know when to expect updates. It could be daily, weekly, or only when there’s a major change.

• Use clear and compassionate language: The goal is to keep people informed while respecting the privacy and dignity of the person or family being supported.

• Include ways to help: If the person or family is open to it, add links or suggestions for meals, donations, visits, or errands so readers can take action.

• Allow comments or messages selectively: Decide if you want others to leave public messages, or if it’s better to keep replies limited to close contacts.

• Privacy matters: Choose settings that match the family's comfort level. Updates can be public, password-protected, or limited to invited friends and family.

• Keep the tone supportive: Even in hard times, updates can include moments of gratitude, memories, or small wins that help everyone feel more connected.
