Five Of Cups
loss · compassion · support

Loss, disappointment and attention drawn towards what has gone wrong. The Five of Cups honours grief while leaving room for support that may still be present.
A practical take
You do not need to list your blessings before being allowed to be upset. Something mattered and it hurt. Let that be true. When you have room, notice what can support you without demanding that it replaces what you lost.
What to notice
Look at what you are grieving, and what remains available to support you.
Try this
Name the loss.
Ask for company or practical help.
Let comfort exist without forcing gratitude.
