FAQ: Grief, Loss and Death card decks

Grief, Loss, and Death Card Decks are therapeutic tools designed to help individuals process and cope with grief, loss, and the emotions surrounding death. Each card typically contains prompts, reflections, or exercises aimed at encouraging emotional healing, providing comfort, and guiding users through the complex feelings associated with loss, whether it be the death of a loved one or other significant life changes.

These decks are used by individuals experiencing grief or loss, as well as by therapists, counselors, grief support groups, and spiritual guides who assist others in navigating the emotions tied to bereavement. They are often used in both personal settings and in grief counseling or therapy sessions to foster emotional exploration and provide support to those processing death and loss.

You use these decks to help process the difficult emotions surrounding grief and loss, allowing you to express feelings, reflect on the meaning of the loss, and find a path toward healing. The cards offer structured support during times of emotional pain, helping you understand and manage grief in a healthy, compassionate way. They provide guidance for self-reflection, emotional release, and mindfulness, which can be deeply comforting during the grieving process.

To use the deck, you draw a card with a specific reflection, question, or activity related to grief or loss. You might use the cards to journal, meditate, or reflect on the emotions and memories that arise. In therapy or support groups, the cards can be used to facilitate discussions about loss and help participants open up about their feelings. The cards serve as prompts for acknowledging grief, fostering acceptance, and finding ways to cope with the pain. Some people use the decks daily as a gentle reminder to take time for self-care and reflection during their healing journey.

Pathways Through Grief

TOOLS AND STORIES TO HELP YOU NAVIGATE YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH GRIEF

SINGLE DECK

Hi, I am Rhonda Haley-McKinnon, and I created the Pathways Through Grief Oracle Journey deck, inspired by the profound personal losses I've experienced. Between 2017 and 2018, I lost my sister, father, and brother. (My mom passed in 2006).

During the pandemic, I faced the challenges of leaving my job due to chronic health conditions, while my husband lost his business of 26 years.

We also endured the loss of four beloved animals and my uncle during this period. These events plunged me into a state of deep grief and C-PTSD.

As a Reiki master teacher, Certified Reflexologist, Sound practitioner, and spiritual coach, I have become a compassionate guide for those in mourning. Through these transformative experiences, I have unwittingly become the Yoda of grief, helping others find their way through the shadows.

I am an avid Oracle and Tarot card collector and I professionally read Oracle and Tarot cards as well.

I am currently working on three Oracle decks.

My daily practices of meditation, breathwork, and Kundalini Yoga keep me connected to my inner wisdom and the divine.

I am motivated by the belief that each day offers a new perspective, an opportunity for gratitude, and the essential practice of self-love. I cherish spending time with my husband and cats, and I believe my deck can be a beacon of light for those navigating grief.

Please reach out to me for spiritual support and guidance on your journey through grief.
