Death Bed Questions
Childhood & Becoming
A tender return to the moments and influences that shaped who you became.
This deck invites you to step gently back into your childhood: the innocence, joy, confusion, wonder and early shaping experiences.
Before someone was a parent, a partner, or a grandparent, they were a child, with their own hopes, fears, and small adventures.
Death Bed Questions: Childhood & Becoming is a deck of 52 questions designed to help people revisit their early years and share the memories that shaped who they became.
For someone near the end of life, it can bring out stories their family has never heard: a chance to be known not only as they are now, but as they have always been.
Use it alone with a journal, or share it across generations at a kitchen table or a hospital bedside.
A question might bring a laugh, a memory that takes a moment to settle, or a story no one thought to ask about until now.
