## How to write it

- **Keep work out of it**: Tell them not to worry about work, and mean it.
- **Match the tone to the illness**: A joke suits a broken ankle, not a serious diagnosis.
- **Don't ask for details**: Wish them well without asking what's wrong; they'll share what they want to.
- **Offer something specific**: Covering a task or dropping off a meal helps more than 'let me know if you need anything'.

## FAQs

### What do you write in a get well soon card for a coworker?

Wish them a speedy recovery, tell them you're thinking of them, and reassure them not to worry about work.

### What's a good get well message for someone with a serious illness?

Skip the jokes and 'you'll be back in no time'. 'Thinking of you and sending strength. We're here for whatever you need' is kind and honest.

### Should I mention their illness in the card?

Only if they've shared it openly. Otherwise keep the message general and warm.

### How can the whole team send one get well card?

Start a group card online and share one link. Everyone adds a note from their own device, and it's sent as one card.
