My wife, Victoria, and I created Smartass Support Cards to offer an authentic alternative for those navigating grief, depression, anxiety, or any of life's toughest challenges.
After losing five close family members all in the span of just five years, I found the most healing messages weren't the traditional, safe, and tasteful condolence cards. No.
When life got really dark, the messages that actually helped were the ones that said things like, "You're still not funny," "You still look like Beaker from the Muppets," or just a plain old "Go f**k yourself" with a bunch of heart emojis. I laughed so hard that the tears were of joy. Even just for a bit.
Why did they help? Because that's how certain people who care for one another talk. And it turns out, it's incredibly healing — not just for grief, but for depression, anxiety, pet loss, all of it. People don't always want to be reminded about their ailments; they want to feel human again. Alive. That's exactly what those messages did for me. It's what I've already been doing for people my whole life!
SmartAss.Cards are for people who love someone enough to make them laugh when everything has gone to crap. They're not for everyone. But if you're reading this, they probably are for you.
And definitely for your mom.
