My mother's not well, and is stuck at home in her bed. While she is coping well, meeting people is something she enjoys a lot. However, many of my friends are reluctant to visit her, because they "don't know what to say". Actually, you don't need to say a anything other than "Hello !" Your company is a valuable gift - please share it ! Ill people feel isolated and cut off from the rest of the world - and visiting them gives them considerable pleasure. Also, do it for purely selfish reasons ! You can learn a lot from ill people ( if you keep your heart open). It will be your turn soon, and what goes around, comes around ! A great book to read is House Calls: How We Can All Heal the World One Visit at a Time
