If you have a sense of humor, you can make up a joke for her. My therapist once gave me the homework assignment of bringing her a joke, and she loved the one I found. But I was never able to top it. So when she had really bad life-threatening intestinal issues and I was scared she was going to die, I decided I would make up a joke for her from scratch. I made it about stomachs so that it would be topical.

I shared it with when we were back together again. She laughed. And she still talks about it all this time later.
