Here are some thoughts regarding people or families going through some kind of trauma or tragedy: If a friend or relative ends up in long-term care due to an injury or illness, please don’t send just one “thinking of you” or “get well soon” card. Please don’t visit once and think you have done your “token” duty. You don’t have to make it a long visit.
While on the subject, please consider helping out the immediate family members who are busy making visits and taking care of the patient’s home, pets and bills. Maybe give them a gift card so they can eat out during all of their running around. Offer to bring them a meal or do them a favor, such as running an errand. You can also ask what else would be helpful. Maybe send them a thinking-of-you card as well. -- Jo B.
