Emily McDowell is a former advertising art director who launched her own line of greeting cards in 2013. Of course, she has a mix of cards for traditional occasions — weddings, birthdays, new baby, etc. But McDowell also has cards specifically to give people who’ve been diagnosed with a serious illness. As she is a cancer survivor, it’s an issue close to her heart. As she explains on her blog: No matter what emotion you’re feeling — guilt because you haven’t been in touch, a genuine urge to help out, feisty optimism, or dark humor, McDowell’s got an empathy card that fits. What we love about these cards, besides the fact that they avoid schmaltzy over-the-top-ness? The fact that the sentiments on each are great reminders on how to SPEAK to a sick friend — basically, you don’t know what the hell to say or do but you want to say or do SOMETHING that shows you care. Click through to see how poignantly each of these cards demonstrates just that.
