AFTER LIGHT

Coming December 2025

Afterlight is a grief ritual kit for those navigating loss. Grief doesn’t follow a calendar, and it doesn’t always bring words. Unlike traditional approaches built on the “five stages of grief,” Afterlight does not force a linear timeline or tidy resolution. This kit weaves the Growing Around Grief and Dual Process Models to offer a ritual-based process shaped around sensory experience, symbolic release, and embodied remembrance. Through sand mandalas, dissolvable writing rituals, magnets, kaleidoscopes, altar-keeping, and memory palace mapping, Afterlight guides you through seven days of structured yet spacious practices. Each element honors impermanence, connection, and transformation—allowing you to hold sorrow with reverence and carry memory forward in your own time and way.

A portion of every Afterlight kit is dedicated to helping children navigate grief with compassion and support. We donate $5 from every kit to the National Alliance for Children's Grief (NACG), a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring no child grieves alone.

What’s Inside

  • Afterlight Journal & Guidebook: A 7-unit arc of reflection, prompts, and integration practices.

  • Hypnotherapy Recordings: Access via QR code or branded card for daily grounding.

  • Sand Mandala Kit: The central art ritual—create, layer, and dissolve as an act of release.

  • Kaleidoscope: A tactile tool for reframing grief fragments into new patterns.

  • Custom Art Grief Deck: Short, resonant texts to hold when words fail.

  • Dissolvable Paper + Water Dish: Write what you cannot keep and release it through ritual.

  • Memory/Altar Frame: A small vessel for photos, symbols, or tokens of remembrance.

  • Lightbox and Tracing Paper: Illuminate memories and trace patterns as you layer symbols of what was, what is, and what endures. A quiet ritual of remembrance and presence.

  • Water Drawing Water Cloth and Calligraphy Pen: Write what you cannot say aloud. Watch each word appear, fade, and dissolve — a practice of release and renewal, leaving no trace but your breath.

  • The Luminarium: An Afterlight Grief Circle: an online grief circle that offers guided rituals, reflection prompts, and shared storytelling to help you honor loss and carry memory forward in community.
