三年半前,Emily McDowell的朋友艾米·奥斯特迈尔(Amy Ostermeier)患上了一种未知的侵略性癌症。 McDowell了解Ostermeier正在经历的事情,因为当她24岁时,她经历了9个月的化疗和放射治疗她的3期霍奇金淋巴瘤.

“我能够以不同于许多其他人的方式为她出席,”麦克道尔告诉今天。 “我了解癌症,医院和治疗,这让我不怕它。”

当McDowell对Ostermeier安慰时,她记得患有癌症的情况,尽管她过去15年一直处于缓解状态。忍受生病的寂寞是困难的;许多朋友和家人在诊断后失踪了。当时她认为人们并不关心她,但随着时间的推移,麦克道尔意识到他们根本不知道该说些什么.

“更重要的是,每个人都只是害怕。那段经历真的和我在一起,“她说.

奥斯特迈尔在确诊三个月后死于肝功能衰竭。当麦克道尔为她的朋友感到悲伤时,她想起了奥斯特迈尔的勇敢。 “她在生活方式上真的很鼓舞人心,这激励我辞掉工作,因为我知道自己会做一些能够让我更像是一个人的人。”

所以McDowell开始设计贺卡的自由职业生涯。随着她的事业的发展,她知道她想为疾病制作移情卡。周一,她终于发布了她的Empathy Cards系列:支持严重疾病,旨在融合机智,尴尬的真相和理解。“你开始觉得你只是癌症,但我和我昨天的人是一样的消息,“麦克道尔说。 “找到关于[疾病]的普遍情感真理,并利用它们创造与人们联系的产品 – 这就是我接触它的方式。”

“这取决于我的应对技巧,我如何看待事物,我自己的幽默感,”她说。 “我想成为的目标是让这些卡的接收者得到倾听,被爱和理解。”

McDowell收到的回应表明她成功了。 “[他们]真的很高兴看到他们自己的经历反映出来并感觉他们正在接受话语,”她对Empathy Card收件人说道。.

McDowell每年两次发行卡片 – 一月和五月 – 她将继续添加她的线路。她希望她的Empathy Cards能帮助人们应对.

“我们的文化并没有很好地帮助我们为其他人的痛苦和痛苦做好准备,”她说。 “我们的文化非常害怕这种情绪。”
