How to admit the truth over the phone
Write down what you want to say.
It helps to get it all out beforehand so you can feel more prepared. Try writing down shorthand notes of what you want to say, or write it out word-for-word and read it when you speak to them on the phone.

(2). Remember, too, that the person may react differently to such bad news. This might include the person not answering the phone as quickly as you had hoped, or calling you repeatedly, just to check in and see if you're okay..

(4). Using a piece of paper or a ballpoint pen, write out what you are going to say. If you are calling your parents, write down the start and end of your conversations or phone calls so that you can be prepared in case of an emergency..
