Cards of Comfort is a small project that grew out of my time in the hospital. Patients can go through negative feelings from boredom and exhaustion to isolation and hopelessness. I decided to look for one small way that I could help to encourage patients who are going through those feelings, so I combined some of my paintings and poems into encouraging cards that I could provide to hospitals. I hope patients of all ages can be encouraged by them. The images I chose are based on Navajo animal symbolism.
If you work in a hospital or care center and would like some of these Cards of Comfort to make available for free to patients, please contact me through the contact form. (Please note that while I am happy to provide cards to all requests, I have to fund their printing and shipping on my own, so please only request them if you plan to distribute them to patients freely.)
A profile of sharing Cards of Comfort with patients at Mercy Regional Medical Center in Colorado is available here.
