How to say it best
When you are sending flowers, a personal message will be attached to the arrangement for the recipient. Our cards aren't very big (so not to distract from the beauty of the flowers) so your message should be short and sweet. It's not always easy to convey your feelings through the written word, especially for a sympathy message, so we have a few suggestions to help you say exactly how you feel for any occasion.
Get Well Soon Wishes
If you know the recipient well enough (and you know they’ll appreciate it!), a little humor is sometimes just the thing to brighten someone’s day in the hospital. However, if your colleague is the serious sort or you’re not very close, it’s safer to stick with more formal sentiments. Don't use clichés like, "There must be a reason." These well-known phrases have hardly any meaning, seem insincere, and can offend the ill person.- I am sorry you are not feeling well. I am praying for you to have a complete and quick recovery
- Get well soon. Feel better. We miss you!
- If I told you to "Get Well Soon," it wouldn't be soon enough. Get Well Now.
- Hope your recovery is a speedy one. We miss you!
- Sending loads of love your way for a speedy recovery!
- Our thoughts are with you. Get well soon! Thinking of you.
- Hope your surgery [GOES/WENT] well, and that your recovery is quick!
- Heard that you've been under the weather. Hope things clear up soon.
Most people have a fear that they are going to upset or offend the person who will receive their sympathy words. Anxiety sets in as you try to find the correct sympathy card wording. Don't use phrases like "I know what you are going through" - the reason is that you probably don't know what the person is going through, and even if you do it can come across as minimizing the suffering and pain the receiving person is feeling. Below we offer more suitable choices for your sympathy message...

- With my deepest sympathy
