More than a card, it’s a permission slip to grieve slowly.

This card is perfect for when someone has lost the love of their life. It doesn’t try to fix, it simply offers presence, poetry, and permission to take the path of healing at their own pace. Most sympathy cards speak in hushed tones. This one speaks truthfully. It acknowledges that anger, too, is part of love. It reminds us that choosing ourselves—especially in the depths of pain—is not selfish, but sacred.

Give more than condolences. Give a moment of truth.

Whether you’re supporting a friend, colleague, or loved one navigating grief, this card offers validation and strength. A gentle rebellion against silence. A reminder that even in the ashes, there is a spark.
