Get Well Soon QuotesGet Well Soon quotes are as different as people are. Whether you are in the situation of sending one to an older relative, a dear and close friend or to a superior from work, get well soon messages need to be written according to the audience. Another layer of constructing your message is your intention. People often find it difficult to express their true intentions and they dont want to be misunderstood. Here are some tips and examples of get well soon quotes that will help you make and idea of what you really want to wish to the suffering person.Really close friendThere are cases in which you may want to sound funny, but you know your friend is smart and likes really funny things, so you may want to come up with something intelligently funny. Here is one example: Physical ills are the taxes laid upon this wretched life; some are taxed higher, and some lower but all pay something. This quote belongs to Lord Chesterfield and it is a half true half funny line. Make sure, though, that youre very close to this friend, else they may not laugh at all.

An acquaintanceWe all have many friends, but we also know that many of them are not that close to us. We wouldnt go tell them our biggest secrets, even if we see them almost daily. For these friends, lets call them acquaintances, a simple funny message is good enough.If it werent for you being so loveable, then maybe those damn germs wouldnt stick to you so much.

Best wishes, The ArtistWhen the suffering person strongly believes in your artistic abilities and you dont want to let them down, you can always choose a rhyming quote. For instance, my grandmother truly believes in my artistic force. Whoever they are for you, make sure to send out something that may really sound like you, otherwise you may be discovered.With you over there/ Its like youve parted to the moon,/ I miss you so much grand-mre/ Please get well soon.Another good rhyme, coming from a nursery, is very well suited in case you need to send out a get well soon message to a kid. Here it is:The best six doctors anywhere/ And no one can deny it/ Are sunshine, water, rest, and air/ Exercise and diet./ These six will gladly you attend/ If only you are willing/ Your mind theyll ease/ Your will theyll mend/ And charge you not a shilling.

Co-workersIf you are in the situation of sending get well soon wishes to a co-worker, there are also many scenarios, besides the cases in which they are also your friends, which we have stated before. 1. Say your co-worker is a very good-looking man or woman who you are very into, though secretly. You havent got the right time and way to tell them about your feelings. So, you wish to send them an unique get well soon message for them to remember. You would definitely not want to come clean right now, so you should refrain from writing any long letters describing your true feelings. Any person feeling ill wouldnt want to be seen by a possible lover in the state of illness, as they want to have their chance to shine again before you and to prove their confidence. So, you would better wait until they feel recovered and back to work, wait for another one or two weeks, and then you may go and tell everything you have experienced; from the deepest love to how difficult was it for you to refrain from visiting them throughout their illness and how you should have been there beside them and not let them go alone through all of this. So, back to where we were, how should your get well soon card sound like? Here is an example of a subtle message that will definitely put them on their thoughts.

The office feels empty without your presence. So take your medicines and get well soon.

This quote is a simple yet sentimental one that can have various interpretations. While the first line is highly touchy, the latter one is very pragmatic. This way you will come out clean even if they respond to your feelings or not. If they secretly share your feelings, they will be touched, and if they dont, then they will go past it unobserved and you got your hands clean, or they will begin wondering whether you may actually nurture some love for them. Illness means being sedentary, so in the meanwhile they may actually consider it.

2. Another case is when your co-worker is a superior of yours who you have always admired for his way of thinking, who has often helped you grow and build up your career, and who never acted like a frustrated boss, but more like a loving parent. In this case it is better for you to be honest, because older people, and even more those who are ill, know that they have less time, so they value it more. Hence, they will appreciate more an honest card rather than a fluffy standardized waste of time. Here is a good example:

You are not just a co-worker. I think that you are my lifes mentor. You were the one who made me enjoy my work. You always stood there to lift me up and were always by my side to make me rise. I want to be the same for you now. I am coming tomorrow. With cake. I miss you.3. Say you have a greedy boss who is always late with salaries but never late regarding models of cars. In case you are obliged, morally, to send a get well soon card to your boss who you cannot stand, you can always choose the most classic and clich line you have ever seen. But, if you are living through a time of a general sense of proving yourself, to you and to others, and to not let your intelligence down for nothing in the world, here is a very funny quote that would help you stand up no matter what.

I wonder why you can always read a doctors bill and you can never read his prescription.

4. If you find out your intern is staying home because last night he partied like an animal, heres what a funny yet bossy boss would have to say:

So sorry to hear you hang-over home today. Get well by tomorrow, we will hang out extra hours.

5. If it happens, and it often does, that another co-worker starts up a campaign of gathering get well soon messages for your colleague in Finance who you have never met before. You can, if you know, write an accountants joke in a corner, it will brighten up her day. Here is one, though you can find plenty of these and of other domains online.

Did you hear about the blonde management accountant? She went to see her fitness trainer to talk about stretch targets.

Another good one is: Did you hear the news about that famous accountant? No. Neither did I. However, this joke is good to be written when you think that the person appreciates honest jokes and is not suffering too much. Otherwise it would be an inappropriate bad joke to write as a get well soon quote. You can still tell it to your neighbor colleague after the messages are delivered.

Loved-onesWhen it comes to loved ones suffering, the amount of pain you feel is often too big to send a get well soon message and you would probably be there in person most of the time anyway. But, they say that laughter is part of the cure, so why not buying another bunch of flowers, which she would most definitely appreciate, accompanied by a funny note. When it comes to men, and women for that matter, you can find a picture of him when he caught the biggest fish, when he bought his new car or anything else that relates to one of his best experiences. For women, find the picture where she looked the most beautiful of all, when you got married, or when you proposed. Gather up the whole family, kids, nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, grandparents and everyone you find around home and make a funny selfie together, through which you will send all the smiles and happiness waiting for your loved one at home. Take the picture and write a motivational funny message on the back. This way, not only you will make them laugh, but you will also bring up good memories that will help them fight their illness and strive for health. Recovery is way easier if you remember what you are fighting for and if good memories fuel up your motivation. They say that visualizing is the way of improving your whole well-being, so why not remember together good times when you had fun in order to fill up your minds with good reasons to go on. Bring up not only one picture, but full family albums of your kids growing up, of you growing up as kids, your parents, your grandparents, at your best times. The message can be simple, in this case what matters most is the memory related to the picture. A basic Get well soon is worth a million words when backed by the smiled of all the family.

Old friends or former high-school classmatesWhen it happens that one of your former classmates had suffered an accident or is fighting with disease, you can always send them a get well soon card in the form of a letter.Starting with Dear Friend, and continue with Remember when? Fill up those blank spaces with the funnies prank you had put together during high-school or with some teachers witty quote of which you had laughed for years. Then tell them in a few words about your present and what had you become, if you havent spoken to each other since graduation. Try to avoid showing off your successes or your wealth and simply focus on how difficult it was at times for you too, but when you got over those times, the happiness that came was worth all the suffering. Lift up their mood with a real-life story bursting with optimism and emphasizing the worthiness of life. Feel free to admit that their disease made you write to them, and that regardless of not communicating with them in a long time, you feel for them and are there when they need you.

Distant relativesWhen it comes to distant relatives going through a tough time, if they live in the same city as you do, then you should pay them a visit. Rather than flowers, bring them something good to eat such as a sweet treat or fruits. Check out first if they dont suffer from a gastric affection which restricts them from eating certain foods. Then buy them what they are allowed to eat and make a nice pack. Ask them if they need any help with medicine, either cost or purchase matters, and offer to help. You may be the only acquaintance they have around. Regarding a get well soon message, you can let them know youre standing beside them through their hard times and not to worry about a thing.

All in all, a person you know going through a bad health experience is not easy to handle by neither of you. Try to stand up for them and be more positive than you have ever been. Your optimism, make it contagious, not imposing, because when it is imposing or showing off, it becomes a flaw and people would end up not able to stand you anymore. They would more likely fall into depression if they see a too happy person going to and from. Be inspiring and help them access memories long ago forgotten, make sure to relate them to the present and not to come up with them from thin air. Find interesting things to do with the person recovering, hang out and watch movies, bring them good books, many and thin, magazines and newspapers. Understand their suffering before countering it with some optimistic thought, otherwise they will feel misunderstood. Even if it is hard to dwell on some pain, it is often more worthy. So, whether you know the patient well or youre simply acquainted, now you know what to write, say or do when in their presence.
