The Death card symbolizes the end of a journey, often making space for a new one. We may have to mourn something that happened in the past, but doing so gives us a chance to make space for what’s to come. Graduation marks the end of our journey at St. Kate’s, but it also represents stepping into the next chapter of our lives. This is a huge change - we spend years working towards our degree, and one day, we finally achieve our goal and enter our post-grad life. Graduation is also a time when we may say goodbye to the friends we’ve spent the last four years of our life with. Major life changes can be scary, but they are necessary for us to begin our next adventure. This card depicts two graduates hugging each other - their shared journey is coming to an end. The sun sets in the background, marking the end of the day. The scene is framed by Forget-Me-Not flowers, which represent remembrance of those we’ve loved. This card encourages us to be grateful for our past and accept its departure while we welcome the beginning of our next chapter.
