Going to see my sister at the psychiatric hospital after a break in an hour. Any tips for how to talk with her that might be comforting or thing anyone wishes had happened when people visited them?

Just being there. I was never so happy to see my husband. It was comforting since being inpatient is scary as it is.

Bring a game like connect four to play together while you have ****** decaffeinated coffee together.
 Books are very nice.

She was mostly very negative and angry and depressed that she was there. But we did bring her cards and asked her if she wanted any snacks, but she said no.
