Our all time favorite cards are from Emily McDowell.

Her saying "There is no good card for this" sums it up perfectly!  Here are a few from her collection that we absolutely love.  I wasn't surprised at all when I learned that Emily is also a breast cancer survivor.  She understands the sentiments and infuses humor in the message.

 OVERALL FAVORITE - FOR ANY DIFFICULT OCCASION

POSITIVE SPIN

I love this positive message.  Well meaning people often say everything happens for a reason, but in the awful moment it is really hard to find any comfort in that saying.   The flaws are what are beautiful.  After all, aren't we all a little broken?

FUNNY AND SPECIFIC

Your friend who is sick or going through something awful is still your same friend with the same personality quicks she had before.  This card really hit home for me.
