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

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

What are the main ideas?

If I implemented one idea from this book right now, which one would it be?

being with my grief and the grief of others can be a sacred act of service. attune to grief whenever possible, especially in america because we are so conditioned away from it.

How would I describe the book to a friend? this book is a powerful weaving together of practices, poetry, personal stories and ancient wisdom. if grief is unfamiliar to you, this book is a great way to put a toe in the waters. if grief is familiar to you, there are layers underneath the surface that are beautifully supportive and grounded across traditions.
