greeting cards for cancer supporters

LIFTING SPIRITS & HEARTS

It's critically important to support patients living with cancer (there are special greeting cards just for cancer patients which you can learn about here). Their supporters - friends, colleagues and family members - also need to know they're not alone.

A sympathetic message can go a long way, which is why greeting cards created by Corrie Kuipers and Nene Adams to send to supporters contain heartfelt and sincere sentiments paired with upbeat, refreshing designs. In addition, most card designs are relationship specific..

For example, if a co-worker's mother has cancer, you can give a tailor made card specifically addressing that relationship. This line of greeting cards is suitable for teens and adults, but there are also designs especially for children with a sibling, parent, grandparent, other family member, or friend with cancer that address the issue in language they can understand.

WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO

If you volunteer to help, be sure to follow through on your promise. And if someone asks you for help, don't feel ashamed if your circumstances mean you have to say, "no." Your honesty is a lot better than a broken promise.

Don't send greeting cards with religious sentiments unless you're absolutely positive the recipient shares your faith. Now is not the time to proselytize.

If a caregiver wants to talk, just listen. Be sympathetic. Pass the Kleenex if necessary. Don't relate horror stories you've heard, and don't offer unwanted advice. Lending an ear and a shoulder to cry on, and offering comfort are the best things you can do.

Everyone knows the difficult emotional, physical and financial situations a cancer diagnosis can inflict on a family. Taking the time to express your sympathies with a greeting card or a note will be appreciated.
