Get well cards are a simple gesture that means so much to someone who has become isolated due to an illness or injury. It reminds them that you care and can help encourage them to look forward to better days. It may be challenging to express yourself, depending on the situation, but a little reflection on your relationship should be enough to guide you in the right direction. Here are some additional tips about filling out get well greeting cards.
How to Get Started
Begin get well cards messages with well-wishes, but don’t dwell on the pain or other negative aspects of the illness or injury. You want to make him or her feel better, so stick with the positive.

You can conduct a quick online search, which will give you hundreds to choose from, or use one of these:
- C.S. Lewis: “Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.”
- Albert Einstein: “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.”
- Anonymous: “Tough times don’t last, tough people do.”
