Check in without demanding news

Back to SMS examples

When someone is unwell, the best message gives your news rather than demanding theirs. Replying takes energy, and that's exactly what's lacking. Here are eight templates to send, discreetly if needed.

Our tips

Don't demand any news in return

"How are you?" forces a reply and an account. A phrasing that expects nothing — "I'm thinking of you, don't reply" — relieves rather than adding a chore.

Something concrete, or nothing

A vague offer of help goes nowhere. Offer one precise, genuinely doable thing: groceries, a lift, minding the children. Failing that, your mere presence is enough.

Your frequently asked questions

Q01Should you ask for details about the illness?

No. Let the person share what they want: a message free of any question is often the most restful to receive.

Q02When should you write before an operation?

The night before rather than the morning itself, so as not to land right in the middle of the final preparations.
