My sister is being treated for abdominal cancer and sometimes feels so blue she just sits–understandable—I want to make her a little box
with a bunch of cards with 'feel good' ideas to get her up and doing things for short bursts of time. Any ideas? She's still pretty mobile.
eg I sent her $10 worth of dimes to toss in wishing wells or fountains.
Answer:
Since I don't really know where your sister is located I only have a general idea of things to do.
- Knitting/Baking Lessons at a local Crafts and Hobbies Store
Visits to your local:
- Botanical gardens/ arboretum
- Museum (Natural History, Modern Arts, Etc.)
- Zoo ( I Love the Zoo)
- Coffee Shop on a night when local performers play music (Almost always free)
Most museums and botanical gardens have no entrance fee or have a very minimal “suggested donation” its a great way to care about a day out with out dropping a lot of cash.
Answer:
You are obviously a very caring person to try to do this for your sister.
Make sure her Library Card is up to date (or get one for her) so she has the ability to go to the library when she feels up to it.
Get some bird food and some small ziploc bags. Pour some bird food into each bag so that she has the ability to take one bag with her if she wants to go to the park and feed the birds.
Find out if there is someone who would be willing to come to the house and give her a facial, manicure, pedicare, massage, etc. You can even check into a hairstylist who might be able to visit and either cut her hair or style it different so she doesn't always get the blues.
You’re only limited by your own imagination and by how your sister is feeling.
God Bless You.
Answer:
You could rent or watch some of her favorite funny movies with her. Take her to a flower garden, watch a sunset together, go on a fun trip with her using your imagination. So where would you go, what would you two do, and have fun like that.
I went to the library and checked out a lot of funny joke book for her.
Good luck,
We’re reading about stage four breast cancer patients, there’s a sale of used wedding gowns in town with the proceeds benefiting stage four breast cancer patients, so on line there are some of their stories about the wishes those patients had. It is like make a wish foundation for breast cancer patients.
So by reading about people fighting this cancer it makes you appreciate their stories and situations and tends to take away those blue feelings we get about ourselves.
Answer:
If you look on website HAVING FUN AFTER CANCER www.after-cancer.com there are many ideas there. Look under Treats, etc.
