About Get Well Soon

A get well message tells someone who is unwell or recovering that they are in your thoughts. A few kind words can lift a person's spirits on a long day of rest.

People send get well wishes after an illness, a surgery, an accident or a hospital stay. Flowers, fruit, a home-cooked meal or a book are common gifts, along with a card.

The best messages are gentle and simple. They ask the person to rest, offer help and say you look forward to seeing them again.

Where it began

Caring for the sick is part of every faith and culture. Visiting the sick is seen as a kind deed in many traditions.

Families have always brought warm food, such as soups, porridge or rasam, to help someone feel better.

Get-well cards grew with greeting cards in the 1800s and 1900s. Flowers at the bedside became a common gift in hospitals.

How to wish well

Keep it short and warm. A long message can tire someone who is unwell.
Do not ask for details of the illness or share stories of others who were sick.
Avoid promising that everything will be fine; say you are thinking of them instead.
Offer one clear kind of help, such as a meal, a lift or picking up groceries.
For a colleague, tell them not to worry about work.
