Tarot for Grief

by Steve Hounsome

Overview

In this, most personal of Tarot books, Tarot author, creator and reader Steve Hounsome presents a method of working with the Tarot to help navigate the process of Grief, following the loss of a loved one.
Based on the widely-recognised five stages of Grief - Bargaining, Denial, Anger, Depression and Acceptance - the book shows you how to use the Tarot as a mentor to guide you through your Grief. Each card is explored in the context of Grief with suggested exercises for many.
The book arose following the sudden and tragic death of Steve’s eldest daughter, coupled with a desire to find a way to use the Tarot for those suffering from cancer, following his wife’s diagnosis with incurable lung cancer. Steve shares his personal diary of how the Tarot played a central role in his Grief process.
This book shows the Tarot in a therapeutic and developmental role, aligning it with Steve’s other books and work with the Tarot.
50% of the proceeds from this book will be donated to MIND, the charity ‘for better mental health’.

Steve was a Founder Member and Secretary of the Professional Tarot Society and was also Secretary of the British Psychic Registration Board, although both these organisations are no longer in existence.

Though a member of these Groups, Steve's approach to spirituality is an eclectic one, as he feels that every path has something to offer. He reads widely on spiritual subjects and incorporates what he learns into his teaching, in its various forms.

Steve feels that a sense of the sacred for each individual is vital to the maintenance of health and well-being and for the fulfillment of our potential and development. More personally, Steve has a deep love of many forms of music, runs long-distance and cycles. He follows his own programme of yoga and chi kung. He enjoys visiting sacred and natural sites and watching football, remaining loyal to his origins by supporting his home-town team, Brighton & Hove Albion.
