If you’re in the hospital or bedridden, these cards are even nicer. You can display them on a desk or a windowsill. That way, you can look at them and read the wishes written inside whenever you like. If you’re consoling someone over their illness, you may want powerful get well wishes. Lovely sentiments are comforting, of course.
But many people tend to rely on their faith during difficult times. And when it comes to illness, everyone’s approach toward religion is unique. But if you know your loved one would appreciate it, you can try writing some faith-oriented get well wishes on that special card, vase of fresh-cut flowers, or sympathy gift basket.
