The Karuna Cards are a set of 52 prompt cards that offer creative ideas and activities for grief and other difficult life transitions. The Karuna Cards encourage journaling, storytelling, collage and other ways to express grief and cope with troubling circumstances.

The cards can help you explore your inner world, release emotions and consider the gifts within relationships. The cards help you craft new personal stories, that shape the way you view your life. They also include ways to decompress, connect with nature and simple meditations to quell anxiety.

The Karuna Cards were developed in counselling with bereaved families and individuals, and are designed to help anyone struggling with loss, grief or difficult life transitions.

Writing in a journal is an effective therapeutic technique, but many people find it difficult to know where to begin. The Karuna Cards help by providing prompts and questions that can be used as starting points, in addition to suggesting therapeutic activities or ideas for simple meditations. Readers can respond to each card by doing the activity, writing in a personal journal or using the card in conversation with someone they trust.

The cards can be used by individuals at home or with professionals in counselling sessions, and come with a booklet that provides guidance and recommendations for how to get the best from each card.

"Karuna Cards are like love letters to the Self that can be read out of order: questions and gentle suggestions to awaken the mourner's senses, inspire poetry, works of art, and loving words, full of promise and hope."
- Nancy Gershman, developer of "Dreamscaping"

"It is such a relief to be given some structure, indeed, even some instruction, in things to do, some ways to access and move some of the encapsulated grief from deep inside to some glimmer of release...these short, seemingly simple yet actually profound exercises are just enough to do without giving rise to "oh, I couldn't possibly take time to _____________." But on the contrary, these little suggestions are eminently doable, that my response tends to be, "why yes, I've got the time."
