Perfect for:- Loss after a long illness or suffering- Complicated grief where relief is part of the picture- Anyone who needs permission to feel something other than pure sadness Why Deathday Cards?We give people emotional permission to feel whatever they actually feel, not just what they think they're supposed to feel.
