What's The Best Thing A Friend Can Do For Someone With A Serious Illness?

The gifts and gestures that reminded you that they would always be there.

When you're unwell, it's obvious that a lot of people don't know what to say or how they can help.

Because of this, it means so much when a friend gets you something that really brightens a bad day.

Or surprises you with something that will make your day-to-day life a little easier.

Maybe a friend bought you a keepsake that reminded you that you have support.

Or gave you money to help you get to an important appointment.

Or maybe they just showed the hell up at a time you really needed them by your side.

We want to know: what are the gestures and comments you appreciated most when unwell?
