How touching, we've qualified for Hallmark treatment
Hallmark has come out with a new "Journeys" line of cards that respond to "modern" issues. They've got one for empty nest syndrome, battling cancer and yes, even pregnancy loss:
Hallmark - Journeys
Mourning the loss of baby must be a real phenomenon if Hallmark came up with a card for it...
So, after my syrupy meme post, I'm back to being slightly cynical about things. As my friend (and blog lurker) pointed out recently, at least I still have my head.

I remember saying, "There just are no appropriate cards out there for when someone's baby dies." Now there are. Maybe this is just a damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of thing.
I must admit that my first reaction was to be touched that they had finally created an appropriate condolence card for this situation. There's probably room for a whole line of cards, from the religious to holistic. If I had more artistic talent, I'd think of doing it myself...
Is is okay if I say that if someone ever sent me one of those cards that, first, I would be deeply touched by their caring and thoughtfulness?
And then I would puke.
