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”

“So many reasons to grieve, so little guidance on how to do it well. This book should be mandatory.”

“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. 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.

“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.”
