No matter where you are in your grief journey, The Grief Deck offers sensitive and supportive tools to help you process your emotions. Its sixty illustrated cards, created by a diverse array of artists and grief workers, offer thoughtful prompts, simple activities, richly textured artwork, and grounding resources for coping with loss.

Everyone faces grief in their own way, and in their own time. The Grief Deck provides accessible entry points to meet you where you are in that process, and activities to guide you forward. The sixty beautiful cards in this deck include meditations for reconnecting with your body and senses and taking moments to reflect in nature; prompts to help you address anxiety, hold a vigil, or create rituals of remembrance; and guidance on finding time for intentional rest and developing daily routines. These activities—each one paired with artwork for reflection—can be explored in any order, at any time as needed.

Although each person's journey is unique, this interactive deck will help you constructively address grief in daily life, a little bit at a time.
