There is No Good Card for This

There is No Good Card for This” by Kelsey Crowe and Emily McDowell is a gem for anyone who’s ever frozen up when a friend is hurting. We’ve all been there – wanting to help but worried we’ll say the wrong thing. This book is like a warm, wise friend guiding you through those tough moments. What strikes me most is how it balances practical advice with genuine compassion. It’s not about finding the perfect words (spoiler: they don’t exist), but about showing up authentically. I love recommending this to my clients, especially those who tend to withdraw when things get heavy. It’s a powerful reminder that our presence, even when imperfect, can be a profound source of comfort. Plus, McDowell’s illustrations add a touch of lightness to heavy topics – a reminder that it’s okay to be human in the face of pain.
