Which tarot cards indicate grief?

Five of Cups – The Five of Cups is the classic card of grieving.  Here, the figure wears a black coat and is in mourning mode. Sorrow or loss. Feeling sad for what has been lost.

Nine of Swords – in this card, we see a person sitting up in bed, head in hands.  They are losing sleep over something.  This can be a card of worry, anxiety, but also grief.

Three of Swords – the broken heart, a personal loss. Something end and grief is left. Emotional pain.

Five of Swords – if you look closely, you’ll see that there are two figures who seem to be crying.  Figures crying are a sign of grieving.

Ten of Swords – another card that illustrates loss.  This is the card of devastation.

Note:  Also look for reversed Court cards from the Cups suit. This can indicate someone who is dealing with sadness or depression.
