The Grief Deck
Artists' Literacies Institute
(Author)Description
Everyone faces grief in their own way and in their own time. No matter where you are in your grief journey, The Grief Deck meets you there and offers sensitive and engaging activities to guide you forward.
Sixty beautifully illustrated cards, created by a diverse array of artists and grief workers, feature thoughtful prompts, simple activities, and grounding resources for coping with loss, including:
- 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
- Guidance on finding time for intentional rest and developing daily routines
- And much more.
These activities--each one paired with artwork for reflection--can be explored in any order, at any time they are needed. Paired with a grief journal or other traditional grief books, this card deck provides an active path for resilient grieving and recovery from loss. It can be used effectively by individuals, families, and groups, is an indispensable tool for grief counselors and death doulas, and makes a meaningful gift for anyone grieving the loss of a partner, parent, friend, pet, or anyone close to their heart.
