Wild Edge of Sorrow

“To live well in this world, we must learn to grieve. It is how the soul bathes itself in the waters of its own longing.”
— Francis Weller

One of my favorites. A guide into the deep, so often neglected terrain of grief—both personal and collective. He draws on ritual, psychology, and honors the teachings of indigenous wisdom, highlighting grief as an initiatory force. One that, when fully embraced, expands our capacity for joy, connection, and belonging.

Grief is not meant to be carried alone. It’s communal, sacred, and woven into the fabric of our very aliveness. Weller offers us tangible practices in this book, pathways to move beyond bypass, and work with the energy of grief in profound and transformative ways.

This is a balm for heavy hearts and a call to tend the grief that shapes us all.
