Sympathy

 Morning and we can't seem to get a break here-Son got sent home from work on Monday with suspected fractured ribs,Dr sent him straight to A&E and no it's pneumonia!!!

Then we got a call from a nephew to say SIL had died.She has been in a care home for a couple of years with Dementia and end of life care for a couple of months,not eating or drinking so actually a blessing but still! I know people are going through worse but just seems one thing after another.So sadly a sympathy card was needed and this is the first all white card I have ever made I think.I scored the lines on the background,then added a smaller piece of card to add the flowers and bow -think the dies are memory Box but not entirely sure as package thrown-because I would remember whose they were!!!


DIL saw this and needed one for a staff member who lost her Dad yesterday,juat added some hearts from stash.

Sorry to read that your son has pneumonia Carol I hope he has a speedy recovery, Your beautiful Sympathy card will give comfort to your nephew, no matter that we know a relative is receiving end of life care, their passing has a deep effect, sorry for your loss

Life can really throw it at us at times Carol, sorry to read all this news. One of my boy's just discovered he's got a fractured hip, nine hours A&E as so much pain and could hardly walk, they said MRI needed but could be weeks, take painkillers so had it done privately, now GP's in a panic what to do next. What's it coming to?

These are both absolutely beautiful white on white cards, Carol. I don't know why there often seems to be extra sadness in December. I have had my fingers crossed that we get through the end of the year without it. Last December was not good. I'm sorry for your son and SIL. I hope your son will be okay. Fingers crossed for you.

Hi Carol, I do hope your son is soon on the mend, no matter how old they get we still worry about our children, wish him well. Sad about your sil too Carol, so sad.
Your cards are stunning, I think all white is perfect for any occasion so for me, a winner as sympathy cards are always hard. Hope things soon turn around for you all.xxxx
