Maybe the card itself has already said a lot. Or you don’t want to go on too long and risk writing the wrong thing. Whatever the case, it’s both appropriate and supportive to simply let your recipient know they’re in your thoughts.
Recovery following an injury, surgery, or illness can be slow, painful, and frustrating. Your recipient might feel like life is moving on without them. They may need reminding that you haven’t forgotten them…and that it’s okay to let other things go and focus on getting well.
- “Be good to yourself. And let others be good to you, too.”
- “This is what you’re going through, not who you are.”
- “I hope you are surrounded by people who are good for your spirit.”
- “You are amazing for facing this with so much courage and hope.”
- “The most important thing right now is to focus on getting better… everything else can wait.”
- “Wishing you healing around the next corner.”
- “You’re doing exactly what you should be doing. Hang in there.”
- “You’re being so strong—and patient. Keep the faith. Things are going to start looking up soon.”
- “I know you’re body has definitely felt better, but how are your spirits holding up? I’ll be in touch to see if you want to talk, vent, rant, whatever.”
Addiction Recovery
When someone you care about is struggling with addiction, it can be tempting to give advice. But unless you’ve been there yourself, resist the urge. Instead, keep your written messages focused on caring, support, and belief.
- “I hope you feel your inner strength building day by day.”
- “This is tough, but you’re tougher.”
- “I’m proud of you for walking this road, for doing what’s right for you.”
- “You’re making a big change, and that’s a really big deal.”
- “I know what you’re going through is hard, but I’m rooting for you every minute of every day.”
- “Even when you might not feel it, you’ve got the strength to get through.”
- “I can’t imagine how you feel. But I can listen when you need to talk.”
- “Take everything one day at a time. And on the harder days, give me a call.”
- “I love you no matter what.”
- “You’re being incredibly brave. I’m proud of you.”
- “It takes serious courage to get on this path and stay on it. Good on you.”
- “Stay strong and remember how many people care about you. (I’m one of them!)”
Pro tip: Like many other encouragement situations, addiction recovery is a journey. It takes time, and often, setbacks and renewed attempts. So consider sending multiple cards over time—both out of the blue, and for sobriety milestones or other important dates.
