So, I got this sympathy card, right? It had a lovely picture on the front, serene landscapes, soothing colors – you know, the usual "I'm sorry for your loss" aesthetic. But here's the thing, what are you supposed to do with a condolences card?
Do you keep it on your mantle, displaying it like a badge of honor? "Ah, yes, the condolences card. A fine addition to my collection of life's unfortunate moments." Or do you toss it in the trash, as if to say, "Thanks, but I've already got enough reminders that life is unpredictable"?
And let's not forget the messages inside these cards. It's like they all went to the same sympathy card writing school. "During this difficult time," "may your heart find peace," "sending thoughts and prayers." It's like they have a sympathy card Mad Libs template they're working off of. "Dear [Name], I am so sorry for your [loss/event]. May your [body part] find [emotion]. Sending [noun] and [religious reference]."
But you know what would be a real twist? A condolences card that just says, "Well, this sucks. Hang in there.
Have you ever noticed that condolences seem to come out of the woodwork when something bad happens? It's like there's a secret society of sympathy card distributors waiting for the moment you stub your toe.

And what's with the condolences hotline at work? You know, the one where your coworkers feel the need to express their condolences for the most trivial things. "I heard your favorite pen ran out of ink. My condolences for your loss of reliable writing utensils."
I'm starting to think there's a conspiracy here. Like, they're all in cahoots, waiting for any sign of distress. "Quick, she burned her toast! Get the condolences card, stat!"
So, if you ever feel like your life is too ordinary, just wait – the condolences conspiracy is probably lurking around the corner, ready to offer their sympathies for the most mundane misfortunes.
You know, I recently received a sympathy card that said "condolences" on it. Now, I appreciate the sentiment, I really do, but can we talk about how that word is just a fancy way of saying, "I'm sorry your life sucks right now"?
I mean, why is it that when someone passes away, we suddenly have this whole glossary of words that dance around the fact that life just dealt you a really crappy hand? "Condolences," "sympathies," "sorry for your loss" – it's like we're in a tragic game of Scrabble, trying to come up with the most eloquent way to say, "Damn, that sucks."
But seriously, I'm so confused. What do you say when you receive condolences? Do you say, "Thanks, I appreciate your condolences"? It's like accepting a gift you never wanted in the first place. "Oh, a condolences casserole, my favorite."
And what's with the funeral flowers? They're basically the floral version of condolences. "Here, have some pretty petals to distract you from the fact that life is fleeting and unpredictable." It's like, "Sorry your grandma is gone, but look at these daisies!
So, when someone's going through a tough time, what do we do? We bring them food, right? Casseroles, lasagnas, enough carbs to drown out the sorrows. It's like, "Hey, I know your world is falling apart, but try this mac and cheese – it's gluten-free, so it won't add to your emotional baggage."
But what if we applied the same logic to other situations? Like, imagine getting fired from your job, and your friend shows up with a pizza. "I know you lost your livelihood, but here's a pepperoni pizza to soften the blow."
Or you fail an exam, and someone hands you a tub of ice cream. "I'm sorry you're not a certified genius, but double chocolate fudge can fix anything."
Maybe we should have a whole line of comfort foods specifically for condolences. "Divorce Donuts," "Breakup Brownies," and "Job Loss Jambalaya." Because nothing says "I care" like a box of sympathy cookies.
