Align child elements of different blocks
Arguably, you could achieve the same thing without subgrid though it's a bit more of a pain.
In my example, I didn't change the HTML so I use display: contents to sort of bring the children up one level of the DOM tree. But if you can change your markup and don't mind the resulting mess, you could also achieve this without display: contents.
.Grid {
display: grid;
grid-gap: 10px;
}
.loon-card {
display: contents;
}
img {
width: 100%;
grid-row-start: 1;
}
.short-description {
grid-row-start: 2;
}
.long-description {
grid-row-start: 3;
}
.price {
grid-row-start: 4;
}
button {
grid-row-start: 5;

</div>A little bit of JavaScript can help out . By getting the maximum height , you can define that to all classes
function textHeight() {
var reed = document.getElementsByClassName("titles")
let lengths = Array.from(reed).map(e => e.offsetHeight);
let max = Math.max(...lengths);
for (let i = 0; i < reed.length; i++) {
reed[i].style.minHeight = max + "px"
}
}
textHeight();.kind-words {
margin-top: 3%;
margin-left: 10%;
margin-right: 10%;
display: flex;
}
.word {
background-color: #F5F5F5;
float: left;
width: 50%;
margin-left: 1%;
margin-right: 1%;
padding-left: 5%;
padding-right: 5%;
padding-top: 3%;
padding-bottom: 3%;
border: solid 1px #B1976B;
display: flex;
flex-flow: column;
}<div class="kind-words" style="margin-bottom: 4%;">
<div class="word">

<h1 style="text-align: center; text-align:justify; font-family: avenirnext; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.5em; color: #54595F;">I would not try any level criminal allegation regarding sexual assault without the help of Dr. Pierce. I have tried many of these cases and the most valuable asset when I do is Dr. Pierce. He has testified in many of my cases with the outcome being
the two word verdict my client so badly needs. The most clear and concise witness I have ever used. I have come to the point where I feel the only way to be truly effective is to have him on our team when we go to trial. He is approachable, understanding,
and infinitely knowledgeable.

<h1 style="text-align: center; text-align:justify; font-family: avenirnext; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.5em; color: #54595F;">Dr. Pierce is my ONLY expert for child abuse cases. He is a national leader in understanding false accusations based on fear of the boogey man/family dynamics/hyper-sensitivity to touching based on past trauma. I have been doing sex defense work for
20 years. Dr. Pierce is the expert I rely on to help me understand the intricacies of my cases. He is a straight shooter. And perhaps more importantly, he speaks very well to juries in common language which is clear, concise, and not elitist. I
have 5 cases pending with Dr. Pierce and have yet to lose one where he has consulted/testified.

</div>This is not possible at present (2019/06)* with any CSS layout method.
display:subgrid solves the issue but it has limited non-experimental adoption by browsers as yet.*
*[2019/12 Update] - Subgrid is now shipped in Firefox 71
Support @ CanIuse.com
--
It is enabled, by default, in Firefox 71+ so it is possible to test. Until this is fully adopted Javacript is needed to equalise element heights.
