If suggesting a book, it should be specific to this situation? Looking for ways other than cable TV to pass time while she has to stay home.

A writing journal and some sharpened pencils so she can express her thoughts and feelings. If she has loose photos of her life sitting around as most of us do, gather them up and buy her some photo albums.......she can work on that as she recovers. Some pretty stationary so she can connect with friends and family (remember to include stamps!) A portable CD player with her favorite music and some' books on tape' is usually a wecome gift. (include some extra batteries)

since i don't know exactly how serious this illness is. You could possibly get audio "books" tapes/CD's. I don't know how well this person functions. So, if you are looking for mental stimulation depending on this person's functionality. puzzles, computer learning games, Everything is just based on what this person can still do or wants to do. how much brain capacity were talking about etc. The best beginning gift may just be a plant or flowers and go from there. Feel her out as to how she is feeling and what she is up for. If this was sudden she maybe depressed at first. or optimistic.

If she doesn't have this yet, why not get her a DVD player and some of her favorite DVDs. Also there are word puzzle books, hand held video games (such as Yahtzee, Poker, or Tetris) that you can get at stores such as Wal-Mart. Inspirational books are good too, and it won't hurt to try to find good outcome story books that relate to her specific situation...this can help her out in the long run and keep her from getting depressed. Another thing, depending on her situation......how about a puppy or a kitten? Best of luck to you and her......have a great day.......

When I was a teenager I was hospitalized with an eating disorder and was suicidal. My parents bought me this beautiful leather bound book. It was full of positive daily thoughts and meditations. I can not remember the name of the book though. I am sure you could find it or one similar at any book store. This is my suggestion because illness can be very depressing for a person. I was at a point that I no longer wanted to be alive. This book was very uplifting and helped me during a very depressed time in my life. I am sure it could help your friend as well.

The Holy Bible, Chicken Soup for the Soul (for people with illness- there must be something like that, or for women with inspirations etc....or check yourself which topic would hit the spot for your friend)...a library membership, if you don't already have one, so you can get a bunch for her every time you visit her (and return the due ones when it's time)- what a wonderful service for a friend!...for this you would have to ask her about her special interests- since you are a friend for the first set you should have an idea or two...and you can borrow DVDs or videotapes, too...even music CDs..etc. I hope she is coping. May God bless you both....(and a prayer for her every day would be nice, too).

the gift of your time and assistance with household chores would help. regular visits from people who care about her will help occupy her time and will remind her she's still important to you. she will let you know when she needs to be alone.
