Try: 'You don't have to be brave for anyone — just rest.'

Tell them the world is the same shape they left it; nothing's urgent.

Sign off with warmth, not finality — this isn't goodbye, just a pause.

Send the wish before perfecting it; imperfect kindness still lands.

End with: 'Whenever you're up to it, I'd love to hear your voice.'

May the new hip behave better than the old one ever did.
