It's so hard during an illness or after a loss to know if you're doing things "right." Everyone's got advice and everyone wants to tell you how their mother, aunt, brother or cousin (or they themselves) dealt with what you're going through. That's normal, we want to share wisdom or try to help: to encourage them how to do what they need to do. But when that desire comes up, remind yourself to tell this person you love, "YOU DO YOU."

Listen to your body, listen to your heart, listen to what feels right for you. You get a pass on doing what's "right" for a long time after a trauma, you get to do what's right for you.

These cards are handmade with antique (gorgeous) metal type and letterpress printed on a Challenge press. They are printed with a deep impression on recycled off-white or brown kraft paper in a dark blue ink. (Choose white or brown at checkout.)
