Writing a Healing Get Well Soon Message

Sadly, sometimes we find our loved ones in ill health, requiring medical attention. It is in times like these that the perfect get well soon message is needed. A message that not only wishes them a speedy recovery but warms their heart, letting them know that they are not alone.

The aim of such messages is to arm those we care about with hope when they really need it- hope that is underestimated all too often- and to reassure them of our love and support.

Before writing your get well soon message, it is important to try to imagine the mindset and emotional state of the receiver. Perhaps they have just received some bad news, or they are feeling lonely in a hospital bed surrounded by strangers. This will help you to tailor your words to their emotional needs and comfort.

Considering that get well soon messages are informal, it is important to use the recipient’s first name. This adds a personal feel to you words right from the beginning.

Start by informing the person how sorry you are to hear that they are unwell. And to complement this, mention how much they are missed. For example:

Dearest Laura,

I am sorry to hear that you are unwell. We all miss you! Things here are just not the same without you.

For the main body of your message, show the person exactly how much they mean to you and mention that you are thinking of them and, perhaps, praying for their speedy recovery. A personal touch, that always works well, is to recall a previous situation that you know will put a smile on their face. This will work to cheer your friend or loved one up and distract them from their illness.

To conclude your message, express your hope for their recovery, maintaining your friendly and affectionate tone. For example:

I hope you get well very soon! I can’t wait to see you fit and well again.

Always keep the aim of your message in mind. It may help to imagine your friend or loved one’s face expression when reading what you are writing for them. With this in mind, it is no doubt clear that you must be positive. Your positivity will encourage them to fell better within themselves regardless of their physical condition.
