PiNkY	Hmmmmmm, I don't think I would. How about a card that simply lets the person know that you are thinking of them and are praying for them? May God bless you with the wisdom to compose the appropriate verbage that will bless your friend. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

?	no, just send a THINKING OF YOU CARD! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

elk312	The intention is understandable but if it is certain that they will not get better, it may be like adding insult to injury. I would just show your support by paying them a little visit. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ImSpartacus	it depends if they have any chance of 'getting well' otherwise theres no point in the 'get well' part of the get well card, is there? BUT, if this person has a sense of humor, and is very tense, then i think it could be approprioate to lighten the overall atmosphere by giving them the card as an intentional joke. this is very shakey ground, you have to be positive that the person will take it humorously, or youll look like a bit of an a' hole in front of ppl that may have very delicate feelings for this person. it all depends on the person and the atmosphere, but i wouldnt advise it in general Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tinkerbell	Personally, I wouldn't send a get well card if you (and they) know they are not going to get well. There are other kinds of cards you can send to let the person know that you are thinking of them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tonykrygier	I think it would always be worthwhile to let someone know you are thinking of them and wish them well, even if you know they will not get well. I doubt someone in that sad position whould be petty enough to think poorly of you for wishing them well. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

noyb	Absolutely not!! Find a card that shows them you care and that you're thinking of them. Giving them a get well card when they know it's not going to happen is cruel and insensitive. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

barbariandarrylgellatly	sure best to keep positive no matter what the surcumstances Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tysavage2001	If you are certain they are dying, then, no .. I would try to just spend time with them .. and send a "thinking of you " card. Good Luck ! :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

thst209	Well yes and no. No because.. you truly want them to get better.. because you love them of course and no one wants to see anyone get sicker. More appropriate though would just be a "Thinking of you" or "I love you" card with bright colors. It would lift their spirits knowing that you are thinking of them and love them more than seeing the words get well when they know they are only getting worse. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

THREE RIVERS	Thinking of you is more appropriate Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pinesgranny	Maybe you could get a "Thinking of you" card instead. Or just write a nice note on a blank card to let them know that they haven't been forgotten. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Yukon Sally	Get a pretty "Thinking of You" card that is blank inside. Write a caring note inside telling them that you are thinking about them and praying ( or hoping) that will get better soon. If they are bedridden, then they may enjoy a few lines of news about your life too. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Katze	It depends what the card is saying, and if the patients knows about his/her status. Some flowers and a "Thinking of you" card would be nice. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
