Death Bed Questions began as a personal act of healing – a way to ask the questions I never got to ask my Dad, my Mum, my team who died in 9/11, and my love Tim, before they were gone.

In those moments of loss, I realised that what we long for most is not more time, but more truth. The unspoken stories. The laughter never shared. The wisdom that leaves with them too soon.

After each one died I remember laying in bed and these questions would swirl but with no way of answering them. So, I began to write the questions to help you and those you love. What started as grief slowly became a beautiful gift of light and love – a collection of essential life conversations we all need to have before it’s too late.
Each card is an invitation to ask deeply, listen wholly and love courageously.
