Fresh, funny, thoughtful and honest, our cards meet people where they are along grief’s journey.
Inside message: I'm here for whatever comes up. Expected doesn't mean easy. When someone has been sick for a long time, people often assume the grief will be easier because there was time to prepare.

Perfect for:- Loss after a long illness- End of life situations where death was anticipated- Anyone whose grief is being minimized because the loss was "expected" Why Deathday Cards?We believe all grief is valid, regardless of the circumstances. This card gives people permission to feel whatever they feel, for as long as they need to.

Inside message: Everyone knows someone who's gone through it... And yet still, no one wants to talk about it. I'm here if you do. Grief: Everyone knows someone who's been through it. And yet nobody wants to talk about it. This funny, deeply true card names the thing nobody says out loud: grief is treated like something shameful, something to get over, something we don't discuss in polite company.

Inside message: Sometimes there's more relief than grief. And that's okay. Sometimes grief and relief show up together. This card is for exactly that. Not every loss is purely devastating. Sometimes the person was suffering. Sometimes the relationship was complicated. Sometimes there's an exhale mixed in with the tears. This card gives people permission to feel the full truth of their grief without shame, without explanation. 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. Grief is complex. Your sympathy card should reflect that.

Inside message: If it helps, I will come over and put puke under your bed every so often. That's how much I care. Pet grief is real grief. And your friend deserves a card that actually gets that.

Inside message: or down? Granny always said we were going to hell. Will we see her there too? This card pokes fun at the notion that everyone becomes a saint once they die.
