When Grief and Loss come Knocking at the Door.

***When Grief and Loss come Knocking at the Door. The Tarot cards* can offer Doorways of Hope and Support.** **Presented by Jill Langford and Tracey Overton-Murphy** By understanding The Tasks of Grief and loss, we can empower our clients to move forward. We look at The 4 Tasks of Grief and loss and The Tarot cards that appear at such times. Hidden in the deck of cards too are those cards of transition and hope. Jill Langford will join Tracey and share her own experience of Loss and how the birth of her deck “The Lost and Found Oracle” was paramount on her healing journey. She will provide insights how to Inspire trust and intuition using her deck. **Jill Langford Profile:** Jill was 9 when she experienced her first spiritual encounter, leaving her with a deep knowing that life existed beyond death. Though sporadic, these experiences continued throughout her life. However, when Jill’s soulmate died, believing she had lost him forever, she delved deeply into the spiritual realms in search of answers. It was here she discovered him in Spirit form. Through his spirit visitations, signs, and synchronicities, she found solace amidst her grief. But the absence of him in her earthly life was at times overwhelming, causing her deep suffering. During those moments, there were times she felt his presence and guidance. Feeling him beside her, she picked up a pen and began to write her story … their story. And the Lost and Found oracle deck was born. Today, she continues to explore the spiritual world, reading tarot and deepening her spirituality with guidance from her Ancestors, Spirit Guides, and Soulmate. Jill is a member of The Tarot Guild of Australia. **Email:** [jill.langford1@gmail.com](mailto:jill.langford1@gmail.com) **Tracey’s Profile** Tracey’s passion for Tarot began more than 25 years ago. Alongside Tarot, she has studied Numerology, earned certificates in Palmistry and Astrology, and is currently completing the FAA Diploma in Astrology. Drawing on her extensive knowledge, Tracey combines the rich symbolism of Tarot with the insights of Numerology and Astrology to offer guidance, clarity, reassurance, and a deeper understanding of life’s choices. Tracey also brings a profound understanding of grief and loss, gained through her extensive career in healthcare and her work as an Art Therapist. This experience enables her to offer compassionate support and sensitive guidance to those navigating life’s challenges. As a speaker and educator, Tracey regularly presents for the Tarot Guild and has been a presenter at the Sydney 2025 Tarot Conference and Melbourne International Conference.
