    My Mum was Irish too and she too didn't send cards the year my father died. It's perfectly acceptable however to still send a card to someone in that situation -in fact possibly even more important to do it that particular year.

    I think I would still give a card but maybe not a 'happy jolly one' - perhaps more like a 'thinking of you' card.
