One of the beauties of friendship is being able to send some encouraging words for a sick friend or encouraging words for a friend who just needs someone in their corner.
We need others around us to lift us up and remind us that everything is going to be okay, and we need those people to know the right things to say.
It could be knowing what to say to someone crying or what to say to someone who is upset, but sometimes it’s just knowing how to encourage someone to keep going even when they want to give up.
I’ve compiled these words to encourage a friend so you can pick and choose from these positive quotes for friends feeling down.
Write them in a card, send them to them in a text, put them together in a slideshow video, shout it from the rooftops.
Whatever you need to do and however you need to use them, you won’t run out of things to say with this list!
