Cancer survivor creates ‘honest’ empathy cards

Emily McDowell, an artist whose fun and witty postcards are world renowned, has a new series of postcards that are just as funny but far more meaningful.

McDowell, a cancer survivor, created the Empathy Cards as meaningful and honest gifts for people suffering from serious illnesses.

“I created these empathy cards for serious illness because we need some better, more authentic ways to communicate about sickness and suffering,” says McDowell.
