What to write in a get well card

When friends or family are sick, it’s natural to want to let them know you’re thinking of them with some thoughtful words of encouragement. Knowing what to write in a get well card doesn’t always come easily though. It’s helpful to keep in mind that what you write depends on the recipient and their health situation. Here are a few ideas and examples of what to write in a get well soon card to share some words of comforting encouragement: Keep it simple and sweet: Messages that are short, sweet, and caring are appropriate for co-workers, neighbors, and casual acquaintances. “Sending lots of healing vibes your way,” “Hope you feel better soon,” and “Best wishes for a speedy recovery” are a few examples of uplifting messages. Offer to help: If you are able to help with childcare, housework, making meals, or other tasks while the sick or injured person is in the hospital or recovering at home, you can include the offer in your get well card. Comfort those with a serious illness or injury: For many people battling a serious illness or injury, a get well soon card can do wonders to lift spirits. “I’m thinking of you and would love to help in any way I can,” “I was so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Please take care,” and “Wishing you better and brighter days ahead” are a few message examples. Console loved ones who have a terminal illness: Showing extra care, love, and attention is vital to those who are terminally ill or nearing end of life. “Thinking of you every day,” “I just want you to know how special you are to me,” and “I hope you know how loved you are” are a few ideas of what to write. Also, if you are able to visit, add that as part of your message.
