Does This Look Like the Face of A Lady Who Has Dedicated Her Life To Trying To Get Hallmark To Make A “Terminally Ill” Card Section?
Dailymail - A widow who lost her husband to cancer three years ago is now fighting a battle with Hallmark to create end-of-life sympathy cards. Activist and artist Regina Holliday has been petitioning for the immensely popular card company to create a line of hospice cards that are meant to say goodbye to friends, loved ones, and acquaintances. Though the greeting card company has plenty of ‘Get Well Soon’ cards and sympathy cards if the worst should happen, there are no cards specifically designed for someone in terminal care.
‘When my husband Fred and I were in rehab, we had all these great cards saying fight the good fight, you can do it, cheering you on, thinking you could actually have an effect on cancer.’ But when Mr Holliday’s cancer worsened and he was moved to hospice, the flow of well-wishes and cards stopped abruptly. ‘People didn’t know what to say,’ the mother of two explained.
In her latest effort, she created the Change.org petition, which has more than 3,200 supporters.
It always sucks when you I have to blog stories like these. Like it sucks I’m going to have to lock horns with a chick whose husband died of cancer. But guess what? Somebody has to do it. I mean this is the DUMBEST and I mean the DUMBEST protest in the history of protests. Hallmark doesn’t have greeting cards for when people move into hospice/terminal care? Umm what about “Thinking of You?” cards? What could be more appropriate than that? What does she want? Sorry you’re about to die cards? I just don’t get it. Who would make a stink about this? And if you can’t find a card you like than just get a blank one with a picture of a dog and write a note. Not to mention the fact Hallmark is a for profit company. They make cards that they can make the most money on. You think I like it that they only make 2 Hannukah cards every year? No, but there ain’t enough Jews to create the demand. That’s life. I didn’t start a change.org petition about it like a baby. I just cry myself to sleep during the holidays instead.


For some reason I read the sentence as: “some chick whore whose husband died of cancer” and lost my shit. Kind of disappointed that isn’t what it actually says.
well thats one way to never see your wife again
They already have a “terminally ill” section – it’s called Anniversary Cards – am I right, fellas?!
She was going to invite change.org’s 3,200 supports to march on Washington in protest, until she realized they had all died of a terminal illness.
does this chick want hallmark cards to say shit like “say hi to Jesus for me!” or “save me a chair by the pool in heaven, be there in 30+ years, pal!”
all joking aside….doesn’t neil look like he could fit right in with the terminally ill?
What man wants a card saying sorry you’re dying…. what man wants a card for anything? Would he husband had died easier if he got a card saying “sorry ass cancer is killing you”?
anyone have neils address?
Weak
Ideas for Terminally-Ill cards:
“Looks like the Lance Armstrong guy was full of shit huh?”
“You 0 – Cancer 1″
“It’s time to give up hope”
“Hey, no biggie, we all die someday”
“In these remaining days you should probably find Jesus”
“Have fun in Heaven…hopefully”
“Probably should have taken care of yourself better huh?”
“Sorry you’ll never get to see the new Star Wars movies”
“I’ll take care of your wife/daughter for you…wink wink”
There aren’t enough Jews to create the demand for it because they won’t spend any money. And this is coming from a fellow Tribe member
no way she was married
If I’m dying, the only peolpe I care about are my family and friends. Anyone who sends me a card will be stabbed accordingly.
It always sucks when you I have to read all your gramaratical errors
Maybe they should come out with a “I’m sorry your a balding Jew “card
