Resilient and Resting | Single Letterpress Card

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.

For those who carry a lot, this card offers permission to pause. A meaningful way to acknowledge both strength and softness—ideal for recovery, burnout, or times of transition.

Meet the Makers

Heartell Press is a women-owned and operated small business based in Indiana. Their 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 they have grown to a team of five and today are grateful to have the privilege of sending their handmade cards and gifts to card writers (and card keepers), cooks (and eaters), readers and gardeners and care givers like you all over North America and Europe. 

They believe that the root of joy is found in our relationships. They believe that growth is non-linear, that beauty is healing, and that stillness and silence are worth seeking out. They believe everyday creativity can be a vehicle for generating positive change in the world. They believe in embracing the adventure, and savoring every moment.
