You know those situations when you just don't know what to say? I found this great article "10 Things to Say to a Sick Friend" and a lot of these things can work for other things aside from being sick.
Pysch Central- 10 Things to Say to a Sick Friend
1. I don’t know what to say, but I care about you.
2. Do you just need to vent? I’m all ears!
3. I really admire how you are handling this. I know its difficult.
4. I’m bringing dinner Thursday. Do you want lasagna or chicken?
5. Can I get your kids for a play date? My kids are bored.
6. I can’t sit still. Got any laundry I can fold?
7. I saw these flowers and thought they’d cheer you today.
8. I have Monday free if you need me to run some errands or take you somewhere.
9. Do you want me to come over while you wait for test results?
10. You are amazing.
Like most loving gestures, it really is the thought that counts and is healing.
