We can literally tell someone to take care of themselves, usually a friend or someone you’re close to, with the phrase “ prends soin de toi”. In formal situations, in particular when writing letters, we can say “ bonne continuation” which can mean “take care” or “best wishes”. Use the phrase à bientôt when you want to say goodbye in French as a sort of temporary goodbye or to say “see you soon”.These ranges from those you say with the certainty of seeing someone again soon, or the kind that bids farewell with finality. Also, though there weren’t any graphic details of the torture, yet still the nongraphic details were also quite disturbing for a person like me, and by disturbing I really mean I got disturbed and depressed by Anna’s story.
