"’Get Well Soon’ probably won’t cut it"

February 16, 2007

Hallmark with cards for specific medical conditions:

Likewise, most cards lining the store shelves don’t work on occasions as someone leaving an abusive spouse, undergoing drug rehab or declaring their sexual orientation . . .

. . .’Cancer is a villain who doesn’t play fair’
For illness: “Cancer is a villain who doesn’t play fair … but it can’t dim your spirit, and it can’t silence prayer.”

For eating disorders: “All I want is for you to be healthy “” healthy and happy with yourself. Please take it one day at a time until you are.”

For depression: “When the world gets heavy, remember, I’m here to help carry it with you.”

Update:
Sam Blackman chimes in.

This is clearly a sign of our increasing isolation from each other and is so very sad.
