Three Uplifting Ideas for a Relative Who is Sick

Try these tips for keeping your loved one entertained during their illness.

1. Remember your loved one’s prior interests before the illness started and try to duplicate those activities.
2. Depending on his or her health and mobility, think about new but related activities that include the prior orientation or interest.
3. Ask and listen. Your loved one is still an adult and needs to be able to make his or her own choices as much as possible.
