The purpose of the CareBomb app, when it’s fully developed, is to facilitate communication about illness - surgery, hangover, Covid, etc.
What do you say if someone asks you if you need help? “Thanks for asking, I’m fine”.
When a friend is sick, you ask them if they need help, to which they reply, “Thanks for asking, I’m fine”.
You’d still like to help, but have no clue what would be helpful, so you send an edible fruit bouquet with a Get Well Soon card, hoping that the sentiment shines through.
What might have pleased your friend was Malcolm Gladwell’s new book and a turn around the block with Fido.
Both sides are frozen in fear of asking too much, doing the wrong thing, making things worse….
We look forward to creating an environment that neutralizes all the anxiety we have about loving our friends CareBomb-fully.
Things that would have made me happy in the hospital:
Anything from Archie McPhee, especially the yodeling pickle!
A cosy, modest and roomy gown with snaps in the right places (I’m working on this)!
Personalized playing cards from Zazzle
And a box of macarons from Ladurée
