The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief

“this book changed my life. A bit too much for acute grief or if the loss is too fresh and you’re deep in it. But once you’re ready to peak out, this book has a lot in it. When I got my first copy someone gave it to me and said “don’t lend this out, if you want to recommend it to someone get them their own copy” and I bought as many used as I could find on eBay and gave them to anyone who was receptive”

“Indebted to @Lucy Propper for this rec. Bought and read based on her review, which I love and agree with wholeheartedly: “This book changed my life.

“Grief rituals are SO important. Wish we had more in the mainstream. Considering attending a grief retreat sometime - I come back to this one a lot”

“Francis Weller writes about grief as something we’re meant to be in relationship with over a lifetime. Something to tend to, rather than something to fix or move past. An apprenticeship with sorrow. I come back to it all the time.”
