When the right words are hard to find
Send someone support
During a difficult, stressful or uncertain time, you do not need perfect words. A simple message can remind someone that they are not facing everything alone.
Offer support without having to fix everything
Before a difficult appointment
Mention the appointment if they told you about it. Leave room for how they really feel.
Thinking of you and your appointment today. Sending strength and a big hug. I am here if you want to talk.Use this message
During grief or loss
Acknowledge what happened. You do not have to find a positive side to their loss.
I have no words that can make this easier. But I am here to listen, and I am sending you a big hug.Use this message
When someone feels overwhelmed
Make your message one less demand. Offer a small, realistic way to help.
No need to reply. I am thinking of you. If it helps, I would love to take a quiet walk with you this week.Use this message
You can edit the message before creating your hug.
Small message, real attention
People often search for the perfect thing to say when somebody is struggling. You do not have to solve the situation. Being present and showing that you care can be enough.
A digital hug gives that short message a little more warmth than an ordinary chat line. The receiver opens a personal page with your words.

Supportive message examples
“Thinking of you today. Sending you strength and a big hug.”
“I may not have the perfect words, but I want you to know I’m here for you.”
“One step at a time. I’m thinking of you and sending you a warm hug.”
Keep the pressure low
A supportive message does not need to make someone feel positive immediately. “I’m thinking of you” and “I’m here” are often more helpful than trying to fix the situation.
