6 Ways To Cheer Up A Sick Friend
4. Arrange for a movie marathon for your friend
There may be so many movies or TV shows your friend wants to watch but has not because she could never find the time. This would be just the right time to rent all those DVDs. You could also get her seasons of classic TV shows like “Friends” or “How I Met Your Mother” or “Full House”.
5. Get some chocolate to delight your friend
Consuming dark chocolate in small quantities daily is considered a healthy practice. Chocolate is also known to induce a subtle sense of illusive bliss. But don’t just get your friend chocolate bars from the neighborhood convenience store. Be creative. Bake a chocolate cake or make a hot chocolate drink for her. If that doesn’t work out either, make her some chocolate candy-balls and cover them in attractive wraps.
6. Update your friend about almost everything in this world
The worst part about being sick in bed is not knowing what’s happening on the outside. Sure, there’s Facebook and Twitter, but social networking sites can only tell you so much. So update your friend on what’s happening around. Tell her who broke up with whom and who’s getting married and who almost got arrested for drunken driving last night. Don’t let her feel like she’s missing out on anything.
Nobody likes to be sick. But sickness makes you realize that you can’t go on treating your body like a machine and that you need to take care of yourself. It also makes you realize that in sickness or in health, your true friends are always going to stick by your side. So be there for your friend when she’s sick. If you can’t visit her every day, at least drop in a call and ask her how she’s doing. You know she’d do the same for you.
