When a friend or loved one is going through a dark period, sending some written words of encouragement is probably one of the best things you can do for them. I remember when I was sick and deeply depressed my brother (bless his heart) came over to my house while I was out and tidied up my apartment, brought over some homemade snacks and left this note on my kitchen table:
I still have the note and every time I’m feelin’ blue-ish, all I have to do is look at it to lift my spirits.
Brother, you’re the best!
xo.
Sister.
