A friend wanted sympathy cards that weren’t just old sunset photos, flowers, or religion-related.One crafter asked me to think of something for someone with a terminal cancer diagnosis and someone who’s lost most of their loved ones; those are the situations I was thinking of when I came up with the following messages.I thought of friends, aunts, and cousins who battled breast cancer (and fortunately won.)I also thought of those people who use dark humor to cope. And there are moments in any terrible situation where you think of something that just seems wrong… but it is kinda ironic or funny, so I created a message addressing that.The cards aren’t really to “cheer someone up” but rather show them love and compassion.They try to convey the message “This situation sucks and I can’t make it all better but I am here to listen or support you in any way that I possibly can. I’m not scared of this awful situation.”Just like the first set of messages, this set has a printable PDF version (so no cutting machine needed) and an SVG version that you can use the Print then Cut feature with, if you have a Cricut.There are 10 new supportive messages included, so you can pick and choose what you want to say. Two are repeated – “You’ve got this” can be used in many situations.Below is the simple printable version; scroll down for the Cricut version.* Links to products are for your convenience in finding tools and materials, however, they are affiliate links.
