HOW TO CARE FOR A SICK WIFE:
Tell your husband to remember
what you did for him when he was sick ...you know, be sure he will:
cook whatever you think you can eat, bring you your food, drinks,more ice, clean up after you eat, put on fresh bedding, keep the kids quiet, make sure you take your medicine on time, hold your hand, ask if you need anything, give a backrub, run to five stores for more drinks, more ice, ice cream, whatever you ask for....all without complaining! And be sure he doesn't get behind on housework, laundry, bill paying, carrying out the trash, and for heaven's sake tell him not to run out of anything you may think you need while you're sick.

To LISTEN to me! (by this, I mean, don't ask me to help lift a motorcycle in the back of a pick up right after I finish telling him how much my body aches from fever) And don't expect anything! And maybe some soup would be nice...But basically your common courtesy (not so common anymore) And also don't insult me or lash out at me out of impatience or whatever your problem is, because when I'm sick I cry easy and I hate that.

Active listening is key. Reflect back what she is saying: "I hear you saying that you're feeling horribly". Then, empathize: "I'm sorry you have to feel this way". Last, ask questions--she'll let you know what she needs: "what can I do to help make you feel better".
Support of this kind is so essential to feeling understood, feeling cared about, protected and will actually make her feel better, physically.
Kudos to you for caring enough to reach out in an effort to help your wife and for being the caring and supportive husband you certainly appear to be!!

He is right there for by my side when i am sick and he holds me and loves me through it. He buys me medication and spoils me rotten when i am not feeling well. Course he spoils me rotten all the time anyways lol. Just him being there and loving me and holding me is the biggest help of all. I love him for it:) I could not ask for a better husband . He also cleans house for me when i am sick.

I would want my husband to cook, clean and take care of the kids. I would like to be pampered if he has the time to do so. A massage would be nice.
