Hi,
When my friend was sick in the hospital a few years ago, I printed out Slate's The Two-Minute Haggadah:
A Passover Service for the Impatient for her kids to take with them for small ritual in the hospital room.
Slate printed it as a joke, but it works in a pinch like a hospital situation.

I don't remember my friend being a good cook. But I do remember that she totally and completely enjoyed cooking for other people.
She also found it important and satisfying to participate in the traditions of her family.

'Missing her tonight.
'Also thinking of my paternal grandmother.
I prayed for help and a few mintutes later my grandmother came into my mind.
She actually was a good cook although perhaps she found cooking to be a chore.
I am going to try to hold the thought of her. She loved me.
