What should I write in the card?

A friend, well, more like an acquaintance really, has been depressed lately. Have bought her some flowers and a card but am struggling a bit with what I should write in it. 'Hope you feel better soon' seems a tad trite, but what else could I say?

Write some honesty about what has prompted you to buy flowers.

About how very sorry you are for where she is right now and your hopes for where she will be in the very near future.

I think epople respect direct, kindly worded honesty more than stuff like 'get well soon'

Its like breavement, people seem shy of talking about it and that sometimes makes it worse.

Does that make sense??.
