The Wild Edge of Sorrow - Francis Weller
‘The Wild Edge of Sorrow - Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Word of Grief’ is a book that cracks you right open. A wise, comforting, and sincere companion through the experience of grief and loss. It speaks to the power of holding reverence for our grief and that when it brings us to our knees (and it will), we are inexplicably close to the fertile places that deepen and transform our soul.
Weller highlights that tending to grief through community and ritual (as we have for ages) in a ‘flatline culture’ is of great importance.
“Our broken hearts have the potential to open us to a wider sense of identity, one capable of seeing through the partitions that have segregated self from the world.” - Francis Weller
