Description:

My colleague's wife has a chronic illness (multiple sclerosis) and recently became acutely ill. She became septic from what seems like a gnarly kidney infection and unfortunately has not entirely bounced back. He informed me that she is in hospice care now. He is very distraught and I really feel for him. Seeing disease everyday at work can never prepare you for when it affects someone you know and love. I want to do something kind for his wife that will hopefully brighten her day and subsequently brighten his. I need your help.


  • For this swap, please send his wife a handmade or store-bought card with a kind, thoughtful message to lift her spirits. If you have a relevant, positive story to share, please do so. Remember, this is about spreading happiness, not focusing on sadness.

  • For your partner, you will send them a handmade or store-bought greeting card with the following:

-If you had only a few days left to live, what is something you would like to do, see, or experience before you die?

-In your opinion, what is the best medicine? (i.e. laughter, music, nature, etc)

-Has death and dying changed you? If so, how?


I will provide each of you with my personal address via private message as soon as partners are assigned. I will compile your happy mail and hand them to my colleague at work who will open them and share them with his wife.

  • If you would like to send her some happy mail without joining the swap, let me know!

Thank you so very much to everyone who participates.

Thank you! I think this is such a wonderful community and there is nothing better than receiving words of positivity, encouragement, and support, even from people we would otherwise consider to be complete strangers!
