Should i give my aunt a card?

Question

She is in the hospital, in an induced coma because of brain cancer :( I am going to see her tomorrow. I will bring flowers, as everyone does, but is a card even proper at this time? And what kind of card would i get? "Get Well Soon" "Encouragement" "Thinking of You" - none of those sound right....Or i should i just make my own? And how should i word it, what should i say?

Answer 1

well if i were you, which i am not, i would not bother with a card until she awakens from the coma...i would go there, even without flowers and just spend time there either reading to her, or just making conversation so she hears your voice..she may not remember, but i believe she can still hear you...

thanks

Answer 2

No card.  Just talk to her with kind, encouraging words when you visit her. Many say that coma victims can hear what we are saying.

Answer 3

A get well card either bought or home made would be lovely. She will love it when she does waken up.Luck.

Answer 4

card   flowers

Answer 5

dont worry about being politically correct.  just go and see her and pray with her.  all the rest is show.  i wouldnt do a card.  she cannot read it and by the time she can she is already getting well.

Answer 6

I would buy a card of encouragement and when you go to visit her, read the card to her and then put it some place where if she did wake up she could see it. They say that even though someone is in a coma that sometimes they hear and understand what someone is saying to them and sometimes these words of encouragement can help them get well.  

Answer 7

if your going to be there for your aunt in person a card is not nessessary. however, a nice note that you leave, to be opened and given to her when she comes out of the coma would be a lovely jesture, knowing that she is in your thoughts.  

Answer 8

In a state of coma, it wouldn't matter.What is more important is that she is able to recognise you and you can say good words to her.

Answer 9

I wouldn't.  Your going to see her shows that you care and is as good as it gets in my opinion.

Answer 10

yes a card would be very appropriate and a lovely gesture, in fact better than flowers or gifts in my opinion, you can write a little personal message which comes from the heart, how  much you're thinking of her everyday hoping she will be back home soon and you send your love, it will be there for her when she recovers. i wish her well.x
