"In this beautiful deck, Dr. Jo distills the essence of her tender inquiry process and offers a potent series of contemplations to help us cultivate intimacy with the reality of our most profound losses, allowing them all the space they need to ripen and flower inside us, to ignite and awaken our hearts.”

“The gentle prompts on these cards may serve as conversation starters for couples, families, or peer support groups who are grieving a loved one, or—equally well—for individuals wanting to explore, journal, or simply ‘sit with’ their loss and grief.”

– Donna L. Schuurman, Sr. Director of Advocacy & Education, The National Grief Center for Children and Families

“Dr. Cacciatore's teachings get right to the heart, and they’ve helped me with my own grieving. The simple direct practices in her cards are a beacon and a buoy in what can seem like an overwhelming murky sea of loss and sorrow.

– Rick Hanson, Ph.D., author of Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness

– Michellanne Bradley, The Tattooed Buddha

"Dr. Joanne Cacciatore has created an inspiring and pragmatic tool for exploring our grief. It can help us heal and move from the experience of fragmentation to wholeness.”
