UPDATE 12/11 – Dilemma resolved, 40-someything cards went out. Some got an update, others not.
Really don’t know what to do about Christmas cards this year. Not everybody on the list knows, and it’s a lousy way to make an announcement. Maybe just the sign the cards and leave the extra personalization off.

Zendo has a good point. Nice that you got your cards out!
Agree with Zendo… It’s hard.
Probably not the subject for a holiday card. “Be of Good Cheer” and all that….
Maybe send a note separately in January. Say you didn’t want to darken the holidays.
I know the feeling. My dad passed in the 2nd week of December. Can soft-pedal the holidays for a while, though if there are any young kids expecting Santa, that can help brighten eveyone’s mood.
Good luck with everything.
Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it a lot – and your experience adds some clarity. The memorial service is in January, so that will work.
