15 Texts People With Chronic Illness Would Love to Get From Their Partners

For people facing chronic illness, a loving text from a partner can provide just the encouragement and support they need to make a tough moment more bearable.

We asked our Mighty readers with chronic illness to share a text they would love to receive from their partner. These texts reveal what love truly looks like for people fighting illness (hint: it’s the little things).

Here are 15 texts people with chronic illness would love to get from their partner:

1. “I’m thinking of you today at your doctor’s appointment, and no matter what, we got this!”

2. “You can do this.”

3. “I’m making supper and cleaning up. You put your feet up and watch Archer.” 

4. “You’re stronger than you realize.”

5. “Hey honey, I know you’re having a rough day, so I’m bringing home dinner and dessert. Also, don’t worry about a thing, I’ll take care of the house and our doggy tonight. Love you!”

6. “You do what you have to. I got this — and you. It’s all good.”

7. “You are more than your pain, your a great wife, a wonderful mom, and you and me together will get through this one day at a time.”

8. “I brought coffee…” 

9. “I’m thinking of you today and just want you to know you are loved.” 

10. “As soon as I am off work, we will stay in bed, order in food so you stay off your feet, and watch your favorite movies.”

11. “I know you may not feel up to making dinner, so I cleaned the house and ordered your fave pizza.” 

 

12. “Just making sure you’re doing OK, need anything?”

13. “Just a reminder, I care.”

14. “Thinking about you. I see how hard you fight every day and want you to remember I’m in this with you. You are strong, brave and I love you.”

15. “I love you to the moon and beyond.”
