What to Write in a Get Well Card
Warm words for whatever they're facing -a friend, a child, a colleague, a long recovery. Make them yours, then send a card they can open when they're ready.

The lines below are grouped by who you're writing to and how serious things are. Match the tone to the situation, and add one specific, personal touch wherever you can.
Warm and sincere
"Thinking of you and hoping each day brings a little more comfort than the last."
"Sending you warmth, rest, and every good wish for a gentle recovery."
"You're on my mind today and every day until you're back on your feet."
"Wishing you all the care and kindness you so often give to everyone else."
Light and cheering
"Strict orders: rest, snacks, and zero guilt about doing nothing. Get well soon!"
"The group chat has gone downhill without you. Please recover quickly."
"Sending you good vibes, terrible daytime telly, and a speedy recovery."
"Get well soon -we're saving all the fun until you're back."
For a child
"Get well soon! We hope you're back to playing and giggling really, really soon."
"Sending you the biggest get-well hug and lots of cuddles. Feel better fast!"
"Be brave, little one -you're doing so well, and everyone's cheering for you."
"Hope you're feeling better super soon so we can have all the fun we've been missing."
After surgery or for a colleague
"Wishing you a smooth recovery -take it slowly and let yourself heal properly."
"Don't think twice about work; it's all handled. Just focus on getting better."
"Sending you strength as you recover. We're all looking forward to having you back when you're ready."
"Rest up and be kind to yourself. One step at a time -you've got this."
For a serious or long illness
"I'm thinking of you, not just today but every day, and I'm here for whatever you need."
"However long the road, you won't walk it alone. Sending you so much love and strength."
"Be gentle with yourself -healing isn't a straight line, and you're doing remarkably well."
"There's no pressure to be anything but exactly where you are. I'm with you."
Short and simple
"Get well soon -thinking of you."
"Sending love and a speedy recovery."
"Rest up. We miss you."
"Wishing you better days, very soon."

Match the tone to the situation
Light and breezy for a minor illness; gentle and steady for something serious. The wrong tone can sting.
Don't over-promise the recovery
"You'll be fine in no time" can ring hollow. "I'm thinking of you" is always safe and always welcome.
Offer something concrete
"I'll drop round some dinner on Thursday" beats "let me know if you need anything" -it's help they can simply accept.
Let them know you're thinking of them.
