Send A Get Well Card

A distant cousin was recently diagnosed with cancer. The result is still uncertain.
While we do worry about him, we are not sure of an appropriate card. My mother, a retired florist said that you never send a card to heal someone who might be terminal.
If this is not the right card, where can we find one that is?

My mother has terminal cancer and I know she appreciates the cards that are "just thinking of you and wish you good luck." She just likes to have people stay in touch, and think about it, not the disease . Enthusiast, keeping in touch Messages do wonders for his mind.

do not send a card Get Well Soon, as it may give the wrong message to your cousin, even if you want no harm.
instead of sending a card which is nice, for example, one that has flowers on it. tell your cousin, you hope they are all well and hope to visit them soon. is the most polite thing to do.
do not send food or flowers well, because they might not be allowed to have because of the disease .......

Like what the mother knows best who responded here. A visit would be nice. It need not be dramatic or long term. You can ask a family member if the cousin is willing to see someone and then go. If you can not go because of the distance, sending a card with family photos or vacation you took.

You know what, sometimes, the company is just great. hang out and watch TV with someone at the hospital worked wonders. He will go to heaven one day.

The whole point is to send a card to let the person know that you think of them. A map of healing could certainly send the wrong message or call the person they actually could not get better. Just send a thought of your card as a friendly gesture. I really hope that your cousin does "Get Well Soon".

Send a mind of your card or a nice blank card so you can write your own message in it.

I suggest not to send a "cure" card because you never know if they will get better or not.

Edit: Also, send your cousin a gift card Blcokbuster (you can buy one online) so they can rent movies / shows. It would brighten their days.

In fact, it's OK, I got several when I was diagnosed and was delighted to get them, took some of the fear of the diagnosis. The last thing the person wants to feel alienated in any way and seen as someone who could be terminal ... best to treat it as a disease that is recoverable.

My husband and I are going through this same situation. his cousin was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer. hes been hospitalized nearly since. we tried to get well cards husband and I said that did not feel right.so we opted for a slightly different idea type of card to send at different times to cheer him up

Your mother is right, no card, a visit is quite the best thing you can do, even if the words are hard to find at times, needs everyone to be close to family during an illness of the presence sort.your is the largest, although it is a distant cousin.

The get is not so appropriate for this disease, but a card is certainly encouraging. These cards are available wherever the cards are sold or make your own card of encouragement.

When I had a dear friend facing life-threatening cancer, I sent "thinking of you" cards. I sent them almost every day when he was in the hospital and weekly when he was at home. He told me several times how much he appreciates them.

Personally, I would send a "thinking of you" card. Even the thought that you mean well, which could have a bad effect on your cousin, given the seriousness of cancer ...

No. Get a "Thinking of You!" card.

Not a funny. Something like this:
