Stuck in hospital what your loved ones really need
When a loved one is stuck in hospital you never know what they will meet.
When. visiting do your best to keep thiings fun and upbeat.
Being in hospital can be lonely,miserable and quite a strain,
Feeling unwell,suffering discomfort and intensive pain.
Patients who are regularly visiited by friends and relations,
Recover quicker and have fewer complications.
Benificial support when visiting you must caringly deploy,
Making them feel special and creating small moments of joy.
Cards and a balloon by a loved one's bed can create an impact,
Sending a subtle meessage to medical staff to compassionately react.
Thoughtfullness goes a long way,making a bigger difference than you think,
A little bit of what they fancy is a good thing,a piece of chocolate or a special drink.
Earplugs and an eye mask can be a godsend,
Disruptive noises and happenings at nightime they will apprehend.
