Death Bed Questions
Roots & Heritage
A gentle exploration of where you come from, what shaped your lineage, and the stories passed down through generations.
This deck invites you into the landscapes of your ancestry, the stories you inherited, the patterns that shaped your family, the wounds and wisdom passed from one generation to the next.
Every family carries stories. Some get told often. Others fade until no one remembers to ask.
Death Bed Questions: Roots & Heritage is a deck of 52 questions designed to help people talk about ancestry, family history, and the generations who came before them.
For someone near the end of life, it is a chance to pass on family knowledge before it is lost. For everyone else, it is a reason to finally ask, and to really listen.
A single question might uncover a forgotten story, a family tradition, or a piece of hard-won wisdom that has been handed down for years without anyone ever writing it down.
