a while back a friend asked me to do an encouragement card around a grieving a new diagnosis, and it felt like something that deserved a bit more thought than my usual thing. so i made this mini-comic about new diagnosis and difficult feelings! for anyone having complicated feelings after a diagnosis, i am sending you a lot of love <3
[ID copied from Alt: a seven panel comic, each featuring handwritten text and a marker drawn barnyard animal over a white background.
One - text beside art of a white chicken reads "I heard you got a new diagnosis. And sometimes that brings joy and relief - but sometimes it brings the opposite."
Two - art of a white and brown spotted duck with text reading "There's no right or wrong way to feel about a new diagnosis, so be gentle with yourself as emotions come and go."
Three - art of a brown cow lying in grass with text reading "It's okay to feel overwhelmed, and to grieve the idea of what your life would have been like without this."
Four - text beside art of a black goat with long grey ears and white stockings on three feet. It reads "Whatever this leads to - medication, or therapy, or simply a better understanding of yourself -"
Five - art of a white sheep with pink ears with text reading "I hope that someday down the line, it all feels a bit lighter."
Six - text beside art of a brown donkey with a white nose reading "I'm proud of you for facing this, even when it's hard."
Seven - art of a fat orange cat sitting with its tail wrapped around it and looking earnestly upwards. Text reads "I love all of you - and that includes the messy bits (heart shape)."
The signature on each panel reads @ watercolour critters. End ID.]
