What’s inside
43 full-color artworks, each accompanied by a written reflection, a guided journaling prompt, and a short mantra exploring grief, love, memory, and renewal. The 6 × 9-inch matte edition brings art and writing together in a journal you can return to over time. Use it on its own or alongside The Art of Grief Card Deck. There is no schedule to keep and no need to complete every page. Begin wherever you feel drawn.
About the artwork
Works by artists including Monet, Van Gogh, Mary Cassatt, and Klimt offer different ways to approach memory, connection, and the feelings that accompany loss. Each reflection responds to the artwork, inviting you to consider what it brings forward in your own experience. A color, a gesture, or a familiar scene may offer a starting point when words are difficult to find. You don’t need a background in art. Simply notice what speaks to you.
A note about Representation
The journal draws from public-domain artwork, a historical archive shaped by unequal access to artistic opportunity, recognition, and preservation. Many voices remain underrepresented within it, and this collection reflects those limitations. Grief belongs to every community. We recognize the importance of offering a broader range of perspectives and hope to expand our collections through future collaborations. We welcome artists interested in contributing work that speaks to love, loss, and remembrance.
