   • Offer emotional support. Offering emotional support during a difficult time can be incredibly comforting for those who are sick. When we’re feeling ill, it can be incredibly helpful to know that someone’s there for us.
   • Ask questions. You probably don’t instantly know what the person who’s sick needs, so instead of making assumptions, you may want to ask open-ended questions.
   • Offer to help with chores. The person likely has a lot on their mind. In some cases, an illness can make it hard to perform routine physical tasks and daily chores.
   • Ask what not to do. Not every person with an illness will have the same needs or wants. Tiwari recommends being direct and asking what not to do for the person.

   • “How are you feeling?” A simple “just checking in!” text can improve an isolated sick person’s morale. Whether it’s a cold or something severe, knowing that others care about how you're doing is extremely comforting (especially if they’re cooped up all alone).
   • “Rest up and feel better soon!” This classic message works great for someone with a light illness. Send this when someone has a cold, allergies, or just a little sniffle to encourage them to take care of themselves.
   • “How can I help?” A helping hand means a lot when someone's illness interrupts their day-to-day life. Offer to do them a favor, bring them a meal, or just ask if there’s anything you can do so they can rest up.
   • “I’ll see you around soon.” Let them know you’re looking forward to seeing them back on their feet. Personalize your text to fit your relationship—maybe you usually see the sick person at school, work, or a social club.
