[quote=Anonymous]Op you are looking for a fight. I don’t think cards are expected anymore and they are certainly not a sign of how much someone loves you or how much money they have. My parents are very wealthy and my mom used to always send a million sympathy cards back in the day, anytime anyone she remotely knew from her church community died. I have no idea if she still does that, but the point is that she was previously someone who put a lot of effort into that etiquette. but when DHs mom died a few years ago, my parents privately texted with him about it. They did not send a card. And my parents and DH have an extremely close relationship. That was the appropriate means of communicating their sympathy in that case; they know he wouldn’t want to talk in his sadness, and that texting is their best way of reaching him. In fact I think dh only got one card at all - from a random old work colleague. [/quote]
