Sympathy Cards during social distancing
Apr 16th, 2020, 3:48pm
 
from a shopper ...
 
"i'd like to send a sympathy card to a friend whose family member recently passed away (not COVID-19 related). It is particularly painful as we could not attend the memorial service due to coronavirus restricting large gatherings so they were not able to have a normal funeral. "
 
The shopper will find these cards here:
Occasions >> Sympathy >> Coronavirus / COVID 19 >> Funeral Service During Coronavirus / Social Distancing
 
Note: these are deaths with causes other than coronavirus.  
 
Here are some insightful reads:

https://www.theguardian.com/global/2020/apr/14/its-grief-upon-grief-the-harsh-re ality-of-funerals-in-lockdown
 
We have also created a new Sympathy sub-category specifically for coronavirus deaths:
Occasions >> Sympathy >> Coronavirus / COVID 19 >> Sympathy Coronavirus / COVID 19
 
As with all sympathy cards, please use great care and consideration in your images and verses.  
 
Note: ALL coronavirus/COVID19 cards should reside here as a collection catch-all:  
Collections >> Health Awareness >> Coronavirus / COVID 19
 
This means that Stock Card Creation cards will reside below and not in the occasion specific subcategory listed above.  Not to worry, their metadata will serve them well:
Collections >> Health Awareness >> Coronavirus / COVID 19
Collections >> Off the Cuff
 
To expedite the review of these cards, please check Fast Track Review on the card image details page when you create your card and add a Note for Reviewers like "for Forum - Wanted Cards".                
 
For standard front designs, consider using Stock Card Creations to create new cards quickly. These cards are automatically set for expedited review so no need to Fast Track.

Hi Mindy, I just created a stock card sympathy that I think fits this need. I hope it is fitting. PID #1611570.
It is waiting review.
