I will sit with you when you need to cry
I will sit with you when you need to cry
I loved hearing this from dear friends, and I loved the actual experience of having someone sit with me when I needed to cry. They couldn't (and can't) fix all of those problems, and they didn't need to try. Just sitting with me was enough.
Sometimes you just need a good cry. And sometimes, you want someone to sit with you when you do. Not to fix it, not even to make you laugh and stop crying, but just to sit with you while you cry. Offering that to a friend can mean so much.
These cards are letterpress printed by hand using antique metal type on a Challenge printing press. They are printed in dark blue ink on thick white and off-white recycled paper. There is a serious bite, or impression, in these cards.
Cards are 5.5 x 4.25 " and come with an olive green envelope.
Proceeds from these cards benefit The Dinner Party, an organization that brings together young people over dinner to talk about life after loss. We love their work, and this line comes directly from a Dinner Party host who said this was something she wished people had said to her after her own loss.
Consider buying a subscription -- we'll send you 5 cards over the course of a year, to help you keep showing up for your friend. After the initial outpouring of support in a hard time, it can get lonely. We want to help you help your friends through the long hard times that come after a loss, a major illness, a miscarriage or a trauma.
