What to write in a "Get well soon" card to my dying grandma?

You shouldn't send a "Get Well Soon" card, since you know she probably isn't going to get well. Most card racks have "Thinking of You" and other cards suitable for terminally ill people.

Compose a nice message saying you're sorry she's been ill, you wish you could speak with her, you hope she's being well cared for, and so on.

If possible, find someone who can translate your English words into Spanish, and have them write that in the card as well. That way she'll be able to read your card for herself.

A potted plant with long-lasting blooms might be nicer than cut flowers that fade in a week.

Don't say anything at all about the rest of the family or the problems you have. And don't say "get well soon." If your Grandma is lucid enough to understand what's being read to her, then she probably knows exactly what's happening to her. Saying "get well soon" is not appropriate; she knows that she won't.

This is not the time to burden her with your own traumatic feelings about your family. All you need to tell your Grandma is how much you love her. That's what she needs to hear from you now.

I'm sorry for you and your Grandma. Best wishes from a total stranger - who knows what it feels like to lose someone you love.

Instead of a Get Well Soon card, why not a Thinking Of You card.

Then basically say how much you think of her even though it has been a long time.

Do not talk about family issues, but just tell her of the things you remember and some funny little things too that you might have shared with her long ago, as that will make her smile.

Just be yourself, and again, dont talk about family issues.

NEVER send a get well card to a dying person! Get a Thinking of You card instead.

Go see your great grandma. You don't have to speak to your dad if he is there, but you do need to see her. Growing up involves doing things that are hard to do. You might as well start doing them.

Sorry about your g-grandma.

Say things like... I am sooo sorry you are sick.

I do hope they keep you out of pain.

You know be sure and ask for more pain medicine

if you need it.

God bless you Grandma and I want the

best for you.

I do not have a ride to see you. Otherwise

I would.

Take care! Write something similar to that.

Use google translate and translate english to spanish

Type up your message and then just copy the spanish version of it into the card :)

Hope that helps :)

Btw.. Sorry to hear

write what you feel: that you love her, and wish you could see her.

Is there no way you could go ? Maybe with someone as moral support ?

If you don't go and she dies without you seeing her, you will regret it for the rest of your life. (speaking from experience)

I hope you find a way to get through this.

Wishing you well

You have your reasons for not forgiving your father and for banning him from your life. You grandmother has done nothing so perhaps you should contact an aunt or an uncle and go see her. You only get one chance you know. Dont live to regret it.

Dear Grandma

As much as I would love to, I am sorry I can't visit at the moment, but I am thinking of you and sending you lots of love.

I think the greatest gift you can give her is a visit. Talk to your mom and ask her to arrange it. Bring her flowers and maybe cookies. ( unless she is on a diet)

Card is nice but it's not personal
