Get Well Notes: The Basics

Posted by Judy on Jan 18th 2016

A personal get well note is good medicine. A few thoughtful words provide encouragement and let the recipient know that she or he hasn’t been forgotten. A note can also be read at leisure and kept as a permanent reminder that people care.

A good get well note acknowledges what has happened without dwelling on it. Simplicity and treating the person as the same one you have always known work best; even two or three lines can be enough. ”I’m sorry that you’re ill and wish you a smooth recovery. All of us are thinking of you. “Or, “Hope all goes well. I look forward to seeing you as soon as you’re up to visitors”.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Dear _____,

So sorry to hear about your hospitalization. I hope you are doing well and getting all the rest you need. You’re never far from my thoughts and I look forward to seeing you as soon as you’re up for visitors.

Dear ______

We’re all missing you and wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope you’re feeling a lot healthier, a lot happier and lot more like your usual self ASAP.

Dear ______,

I hope this rough time in your life is soon behind you. My greatest wish in this world is for you to feel like yourself again.
