Grief Spread

A five-card spread for moving through loss — death, breakup, dream-loss, identity-loss. Honors the grief without trying to rush it.

The positions

  1. 01

    What Was Lost

    What you have actually lost — named honestly.

  2. 02

    What the Loss Carries

    The deeper meaning of this particular loss for you.

  3. 03

    Where You Are in It

    Your current phase — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, or none of these.

  4. 04

    What Remains

    What was given to you by the lost thing that is still with you.

  5. 05

    Permission for the Next Breath

    What the cards permit you to do next — without it being a betrayal of the grief.
