Sympathy Card – “When it hurts too much”

A soft reminder for the moments when even breathing feels hard. Simply add your name on the inside. 

This minimalist sympathy card carries a powerful message for anyone caught in the fog of grief, anxiety, or overwhelm. Featuring the poem “When It Hurts Too Much” by Heidi Prowse OAM, this design offers quiet support through the most tender moments—when thinking, feeling, or moving is simply too much.

Set against a clean white matte card with the word “breathe” gently scripted across the top in calming blue, this piece reminds the reader that sometimes, the only task is to keep breathing.

Poem excerpt:

When it hurts too much to think, breathe.
When it hurts too much to feel, breathe...
And when you can, breathe again.

This card doesn’t try to fix pain—it simply offers presence.
