BioAdoptMom, thank you for writing that. I had not thought how painful it would be for parents to see their child not getting the same support as others with a medical condition.

Christina, I think the difference is that people with cancer will receive support, to varying degrees (let's face it, our culture is not very good at knowing how to respond to illness or grief), and no one really questions whether or not to send a card. I only jokingly referred to bipolar cards, but the truth is that something like that would show people who have friends, loved ones and co-workers that it's okay to tell someone with a mental health condition that you care.

And I would love it if someone knew that if they wanted to do something, but weren't sure what, that good food is just as appropriate for someone with depression or a mind that's melting from medication adjustments as it is for someone who's sick or grieving. (And I love mm's edible arrangement.)
