Their Light Still Shines Sympathy Card by Heartell Press

Their Light Still Shines

A golden light spills through an open doorway, surrounded by vibrant greenery. A quiet image of continued presence. This card is a gentle reminder that the love we’ve lost still lives on in the world around us. This card is part of Reimagining Grief, a collaborative letterpress collection by artist Rachel Kroh of Heartell Press and grief guide and author Lisa Keefauver, MSW (Grief is a Sneaky Bitch). Born from their shared experiences of loss, the collection offers honest, compassionate ways to support the grieving people in your life. Each design was created together, blending visual tenderness with words that help grievers feel seen and supported.

This A2 (4.25" x 5.5") folded card was letterpress printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Includes a coordinating envelope. Inside is blank for your personalized message.

Handmade by Heartell Press in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Our story started when printmaker and illustrator Rachel Kroh was inspired to hand-carve woodblocks and print them to make cards after she had trouble finding the kind of warm, sincere designs she wanted to send to her mom who was diagnosed with cancer in 2012. Since then we have grown to a small but mighty team of five, committed to helping you savor every moment of feeling, flavor, sensation and connection with the people who matter most to you.

At Heartell Press we use sustainable materials and simple block print illustrations to create meaningful cards and gifts so you can nurture your relationships through all of life's ups and downs. Our Art for Change Project is a collection of postcards (great for sending to elected representatives) and art prints that generate funding for organizations that support BIPOC and LGBTQ+ small business owners.
