When someone you care about is feeling ill, having surgery, or going through a rough patch, writing get well soon wishes or other inspirational greetings can make all the difference. Sending a comforting get well gift is always appropriate as well. When you send get well greetings, not only will your friends and family know you care, but the warm feelings you send can give them the emotional lift they need to feel better.

Table of Content

There are a lot of circumstances that lend to sending get well messages. We’ll take a look at a few of them here—plus some of the appropriate things you might want to say to someone who’s suffering.

But What if I Don’t Know What to Write?

Unless you’re a professional writer—which most of us aren’t—it can be tough to know just what to say to someone who’s feeling down or very ill. You can send gifts, make phone calls, and buy greeting cards, but finding just the right words can be a real challenge. Depending on the situation, you may not know just how your loved one is feeling. The important thing is to send well wishes for quick and complete healing.

If you’re unsure what to write, it’s always to begin with a personal message. Begin with a greeting that is specific to your relationship with the person. For example:

• Greetings brother! I’ve been thinking a lot about you.
• Hello mom, I just wanted to write and share with you how much you’ve meant to me my whole life.
• I’ve been thinking a lot about our friendship over the years and I wanted to share how much you’ve meant to me.

Sharing something specific or a personal anecdote about your life will help get you started and will help frame the get will message. Your loved one will feel that you care about them as an individual, and it will be much easier to craft a heartfelt message for the specific situation—everyone is different and every get well message should be personalized to create the most positive impact.

Get Well Card Messages After Surgery

Say your best friend had a fairly serious surgery, and might be laid up for a while. You’ll want to write a sincere, heartfelt message that shares your hope for a fast and full recovery.

Think about your friend and his or her personality traits. What will support their mindset and lifestyle to get on the mend soon?

• Is she a go-getter?
• Is he a determined soul with a great sense of humor?
• Think about what traits will lend themselves to recovery and remind him or her about them.

If your loved one has a great support system at home while they recover, highlight that in your get well greetings. Or, if there isn’t a lot of support, offer specific help you can give in ways like these:

• Driving to and from appointments
• Picking up the groceries
• Doing loads of laundry
• Watching the kids
• Walking the dog
• Letting them stay with you, if you have fewer stairs or other complications at home

Get Well Messages After Serious Illness

When someone you care about is seriously ill, you might be sick with worry yourself so you may want to offer sincere messages for total healing.

• I’m so glad you are receiving such great care.
• I’m here to help you out at home whenever you need it.
• You are in my thoughts and my heart.
• Please call on me anytime.
• You’ve got what it takes to beat this.

Sincerity doesn’t have to be a downer. You can stay positive and upbeat while still offering get well soon greetings that let them know they are always on your mind.

Here are some ways to express sincerity that won’t come off as empty or obligatory:

• I am thinking of you constantly.
• Your amazing attitude can be a source of strength.
• I am here for you now and always.
• I hope you can feel my love and comfort.
• I love thinking about our times and memories together.
• I’d love to visit and laugh with you soon.
• You’re so important to me.
• You’ve had such an impact on my life.
• You’re surrounded by so much love. I hope you can feel that from me.

• Health and humor are like sunshine and water to the body. Hope you’re healthy and laughing again soon.
• I value your friendship so much. Please know I’m praying for your speedy recovery.

Religious Get Well Messages

• I’m praying for your quick recovery. God will take good care of you.

What to Write in a Get Well Card

Writing an inspirational get well soon message may seem tricky but can be achieved without too much trouble. Your friends or loved one will appreciate you taking the time to wish them a speedy recovery. And kind, uplifting words can really help to improve the recovering persons mood and positivity.

We've put together this list of 100 get well wishes to help you get the best message and hopefully inspire you. However if you want to write your own, with your own words, you can follow some simple steps.

• Choose your words carefully, being respectful and sensitive to how the sick person is feeling is essential.
• Be positive. Don't focus on the negatives of their illness. Try to lift their mood and make them feel better.
• If you feel it's appropriate then you can use a joke or funny message. Be careful though and certain they won't take offence at this.
• Mention you are thinking of them. For a sick friend or family member to know they are in the thoughts of the people closest to them is a real lift.
• If you can - offer support. A message saying you're going to visit them, bring food, something like that. Even small chores they may need doing would be a huge help.

What Not to Say

• Unless you know the recipient is religious then avoid a message of that nature. Saying "you'll be in my prayers" is absolutely fine but don't go further than that. You could make them uncomfortable.
• Try to be as normal with them as you were before. They won't want to feel like they need special treatment or treated differently to before being ill. Just be the same with them as you always are.
• Don't dwell on the illness or be negative. Stay upbeat, lift their spirits and keep positive for them.

• I'm terrible at writing these messages but just wanted to wish you a speedy recovery and to feel better soon
• Wishing you all the best and reminding you to take it easy as you get better
• Missing you loads! Get well soon!!
