get well soon

Healing card sentiment

Get well soon is a conventional expression of goodwill directed at someone who is sick or injured, wishing them a speedy recovery.

It appears on greeting cards, in text messages, and as a closing to hospital visits: Get well soon—we miss you at the office.

The phrase is formulaic but sincere, filling the awkward space when there's little else to say.
