So very sorry to hear about your husband, l can only imagine how you feel. Honestly if it were me l would just put it in the bin and try not to give it another thought, some people are not only weird but insensitive too and sadly you appear to have both as relatives. Sending you virtual hugs.

This is my thinking also.

Maybe they crossed out the 'Have A Great Christmas' out because of the effect Covid will have on Christmas?

I am very sorry for your loss, and the card was in very poor taste.

I’m so sorry for your loss sending you much love.
As for the card I would have done the same as you, I can see no excuse for sending a card like that.

Take care xx

Jane

I'm so sorry for your loss, and if I posted my reaction to the card I'd be in big trouble. Suffice to say the second work was sake. Xxx

Sending you much love xx

Ps I’ve just lost my mum three weeks ago and have just taken down the sympathy cards (I’m not a lover of having cards all over the place anyway and I found them all particularly upsetting), whilst I’ve put them away and kept them, I’ve since thrown out any Christmas cards I’ve received - I’m just not up to having them all up in replacement of the sympathy cards, it’s seems such a wildly different type of card that I can’t face the contrast - not sure I’m making any sense!

Anyway just wanted to say, be kind to yourself and do whatever feels right for you - sending big hugs xx

They weren't particularly close, hadn't seen one another for over a year, but since he's died you'd think both of his brothers were the only ones grieving (as I keep getting told how awful it is for them).

I'm so sorry about your mum, and I can understand completely abut the Christmas cards.

That really is an incredibly awful and insensitive thing for anyone to do. They too are grieving and we all cope differently but you did right putting it in the bin. You don’t think they posted it before your husband passed away do you ?

They put it through my door on the way to his parents.

Thank you, that made me smile, that was my first thought as well.

I'm so sorry to hear your about your loss. What goes through people's minds with regard to the Christmas card is anyone's guess, it's just a bizarre thing to send.
