Have you ever been so upset, that after shedding a bucketful of tears, you grew sick of crying and craved a good laugh?Has the thought of not being able to make your loved one smile in those harsh days, poked a thousand needles in your heart?

Chocolate isn’t the solution to all the problems in our lives. It’s the five magical words, “I am there for you.”

No matter how badly we try to comfort our dear ones, we fail when we look at those swollen eyes and that red nose. For situations of such kind, a fertile minded artist, Emily McDowell has come up with the amazing, the beautiful, the comforting…*drumroll*…Empathy Cards!

The purpose of these Empathy Cards is to let our loved ones know that we’re there for them in sickness and in health. These cards don’t just show them that you care, with ease, but thanks to the humor she has injected, they also make the recipient’s heart lighter. That serves your purpose, right?

We can’t lessen their pain, but there is no harm in attempting to bring a smile on their face.
