So I was at one of those eCard websites putting together an eCard for my friend's birthday and I noticed they had a section for bereavement eCards. I thought that was the silliest thing.
What is the thought process behind deciding to send a bereavement eCard? "I really feel bad for Joe and his family, and I want them to know how bad I feel, but I don't want to spend three dollars on a card. I know it makes me look cheap, but heck, three dollars is three dollars!"
They had a premium section and a free section. I'm guessing the free section is the only one that gets used.
Hey, if you're the artist or photographer, are you bummed out when you learn your work is only going to be used for the free section? Or do you try to find a silver lining and think of it as a way to pay your dues in the tough, political world of bereavement eCard artistry?
All I ask is that you think about it.

As a widow of four years, I remember feeling happy that someone would think of me or my family and send a card, whether in the mail or an ecard. Just a thought....
Thanks for the comment, Elaine. Yes, it's always the thought that counts.
