Care Card - GiftYa Select Gift Card

Hilarie Burton Morgan, tells the story of leaving Hollywood for a radically different kind of life in upstate New York with her husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan--a celebration of community, family, and the value of hard work in small town America.
While Hilarie Burton Morgan's hectic lifestyle as an actress in New York and Los Angeles gave her a comfortable life, it did not fulfill her spiritually or emotionally. After the birth of their first son, she and her husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the star of The Walking Dead, decided to make a major change: they bought a working farm in Rhinebeck, New York, and began a new chapter in their lives.
The Rural Diaries chronicles her inspiring story of farm life: chopping wood, making dandelion wine, building chicken coops. Burton looks back at her transition from urban to country living--discovering how to manage a farm while raising her son and making friends with her new neighbors. She mixes charming stories of learning to raise alpacas and buying and revitalizing the town's beloved candy store, Samuel's Sweet Shop, with raw observations on the ups and downs of marriage and her struggles with secondary infertility. Burton also includes delicious recipes that can be made with fresh ingredients at home, as well as home renovation and gardening tips.
Burton's charisma, wide eyed attitude, and fortitude--both internal and physical--propels this moving story of transformation and self-discovery. The Rural Diaries honors the values and lifestyle of small-town America and offers inspiration for anyone longing to embark on their own unconventional journey.
Why We Love This Gift: Not only is Hilarie Burton a dear friend and wonderful advocate of Give InKind, she also knows what it means to give and receive support from her tribe. Her truth about struggles with secondary infertility are heart-breaking and relatable. This book is like a love letter to the people in her town and a worthy read.
What To Express In Your Card: Thought this looked like a great read for you. Sit back, relax, and enjoy! You deserve it!

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo

Written after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the "mad midnight moment," A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. This work contains his concise, genuine reflections on that period: "Nothing will shake a man -- or at any rate a man like me -- out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself." This is a beautiful and unflinchingly honest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it is an honest exploration of grief written from the perspective of a preeminent male writer. It explores and conveys universal truths about what it means to live, to love, to mourn. (Patton Oswalt recently described this book as helpful to him following the sudden death of his wife earlier in 2016).
What To Express In Your Card: I am heartbroken for you. I am thinking of you constantly and I am sending you all the support I can offer. Ask me anything.

A Grief Observed

Ten years after Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's death, a commemorative edition with a new introduction and updated resources section of her beloved, groundbreaking classic on the five stages of grief.
One of the most important psychological studies of the late twentieth century, On Death and Dying grew out of Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's famous interdisciplinary seminar on death, life, and transition. In this remarkable book, Dr. Kübler-Ross first explored the now-famous five stages of death: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Through sample interviews and conversations, she gives readers a better understanding of how imminent death affects the patient, the professionals who serve that patient, and the patient's family, bringing hope to all who are involved.
Why We Love This Gift: This is the seminal book on death and dying. A pioneer in the field, Kübler-Ross set a standard in end-of-life discussions and in doing so, she changed the very paradigm of talking about death. A stunning achievement by any measure. An obvious and unanimous top-pick of the editorial team at Give InKind. We love this book because it offers comfort at a critical moment. And that is priceless, indeed.
What To Express In Your Note: I am a bit at a loss for words right now. The profundity of death is hard to address. This book has been around for a long time and many people have benefited from reading it. It may or may not resonate with you - experiences are so unique. Still, I'd love to meet for coffee to talk. I'm sending you so much love.

On Death and Dying: What the Dying Have to Teach Doctors, Nurses, Clergy and Their Own Families

In a kid-friendly, accessible way, We Belong Together explores the ways that people can choose to come together to make a family.
Popular author-illustrator Todd Parr illustrates the rewards of family ties in this heartfelt, supportive book geared toward adopted children and their parents. In each double-page spread, Parr completes the phrase "We belong together because . . ." with poignant explanations that touch upon basic, tangible needs ("You needed a home . . . and I had one to share"), as well as emotional ones: "You needed someone to say 'I love you' . . . and we had love to give. Now we all have someone to kiss goodnight."
As in Parr's The Family Book, cheerful, friendly artwork, with thickly outlined forms and characters and a bold rainbow palette, inclusively depicts an array of children and families--including one with a single parent and one with two dads--and emphasizes the rewards of adoption for adults and children alike. Apart from the subtitle, the text never uses the word "adoption," nor refers to the adoption process, keeping the focus squarely on the universal joys of sharing hearth and heart.
Why We Love This Gift: We love that the message of this book is one of encompassing family love.  Because families grow based on love. Perfect read for the very young child.
What To Express In Your Card: I love you!

We Belong Together: A Book About Adoption and Families

From one of America's iconic writers, a stunning book of electric honesty and passion. Joan Didion explores an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage - and a life, in good times and bad - that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child.
This is a seminal book about the power of grief - making it a top choice of the editorial staff at Give InKind.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this book because in clear and intelligent prose, Didion gives language to the experience of grieving. Accessible and thought-provoking it is a book to which almost anyone can relate.
What To Express In Your Card: I can't begin to imagine the pain you are in. I think that Joan Didion writes eloquently about the sudden death of her husband. This may or may not resonate with you - I understand the everyone's experience of grief is different - but I thought this might be a good place to start. I wonder if we could meet for a drink to talk it over. I am sending you lots of love.

The Year of Magical Thinking

The death of someone we love cracks us open, inviting us to become the person we were born to be. This is the book Tom Zuba wishes he had read after his daughter Erin died. And after his wife Trici died. It's the book he wishes he'd been handed following his son Rory's death. But Tom had to live it first, before he could write it for you. In the beginning, Tom did grief the old way: repressing, denying, pretending, numbing and stuffing every feeling and every emotion that arose. He created pain on top of pain until he began searching for a new way. Once he gave himself permission to mourn, healing began. Along the way, Tom discovered that grief is not the enemy. Grief can be one of our greatest teachers. It's the stories we tell that determine whether or not we will heal.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because we look to opportunities not to turn away from pain, but to train it. We want to learn what is can teach us - in honor of those we love and whom we have lost.
What To Express in Your Card: I am thinking just ceaselessly of you. What can I do for you? (I will do anything for you).

Permission to Mourn: A New Way to Do Grief

On Coming Alive: Journaling Through Grief is a 100 prompt-oriented journal aimed at guiding you through the darkness that often accompanies grief.
Featuring inspiring quotes from writers and other visionaries paired with open-ended questions and prompts, this journal also provides plenty of room for writing and reflecting.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because writing in the wake of loss or trauma is a helpful way to process feelings and record responses. Writing can provide clarity in surprising ways. A black page, however, can be overwhelming. Prompts may sometimes help people get started. This journal has helpful prompts and is the work of a bereaved mom.
What To Express in Your Card: I know that you don't consider yourself a writer, per se. Still, recording things and writing feelings down can be helpful. I brought this for you because no matter the how much it hurts to remember, I want you to remember. I don't want you to forget. You are a person in transition and I would love to walk with you. Even through the painful parts. Especially through the painful parts. I send you my love.

On Coming Alive: Journaling Through Grief

In 2008, Angie Smith and her husband Todd (lead singer of the group Selah) learned through ultrasound that their fourth daughter had conditions making her "incompatible with life." Advised to terminate the pregnancy, the Smiths chose instead to carry this child and allow room for a miracle. That miracle came the day they met Audrey Caroline and got the chance to love her for the precious two-and-a-half hours she lived on earth.
Upon receiving the original diagnosis, Angie started a blog called Bring the Rain, in an effort to keep family and friends informed of their journey. Soon, the site exploded in popularity, connecting with thousands who were either experiencing their own heartbreaking situations or simply curious about how God could carry someone through something so tragic.
I Will Carry You tells the powerful story of a parent losing her child, interwoven with the biblical story of Lazarus to help those who mourn to still have hope--to find grace and peace in the sacred dance of grief and joy.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because we think that the experience of a poor pre-natal diagnosis is not well understood. Understanding the complex emotions associated with this experience, allow for us to provide meaningful support to the family facing it.
What To Express in Your Card: You are not alone.
