Hi there, my name is Linda and I lost my son Ryan to cot death 15 years ago. There's not a day goes by that I don't think about him. This year, I created 16 Angel Cards in Ryan's memory. The cards were designed to offer words of comfort, love & peace to those who need them. It was my intention that the words would sail through the world and land where they were needed most. I relayed Ryan's story & the fact that he's my inspiration on the back of the cards.
While the cards are on sale in retail outlets throughout the country, such as Hallmark Stores, Card Galleries and Veritas & there has been an overall good reaction to them, I have come across one or two retailers who have found my story at the back somewhat offensive. While I wrote these cards so the words would help everyone, I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps bereaved people (such as myself) understand or relate to them better?
I'd really value some genuine feedback on what you think. You can see the cards at my website lindaminto (dot com) . When you go onto the products page, it will allow you to read each of the cards. The very last card will relay my message at the back.
My thoughts and prayers are with anyone out there who is in the throes of grief, it's an awful lonely place to be as I remember only too well.
I hope this was okay to post and does not offend anyone.
Best wishes,
Linda
