Noted psychotherapist Francis Weller provides an essential guide for navigating the deep waters of sorrow and loss in this lyrical yet practical handbook for mastering the art of grieving. Describing how Western patterns of amnesia and anesthesia affect our capacity to cope with personal and collective sorrows, Weller reveals the new vitality we may encounter when we welcome, rather than fear, the pain of loss. Through moving personal stories, poetry, and insightful reflections he leads us into the central energy of sorrow, and to the profound healing and heightened communion with each other and our planet that reside alongside it.The Wild Edge of Sorrow explains that grief has always been communal and illustrates how we need the healing touch of others, an atmosphere of compassion, and the comfort of ritual in order to fully metabolize our grief. Weller describes how we often hide our pain from the world, wrapping it in a secret mantle of shame. This causes sorrow to linger unexpressed in our bodies, weighing us down and pulling us into the territory of depression and death. We have come to fear grief and feel too alone to face an encounter with the powerful energies of sorrow. Those who work with people in grief, who have experienced the loss of a loved one, who mourn the ongoing destruction of our planet, or who suffer the accumulated traumas of a lifetime will appreciate the discussion of obstacles to successful grief work such as privatized pain, lack of communal rituals, a pervasive feeling of fear, and a culturally restrictive range of emotion. Weller highlights the intimate bond between grief and gratitude, sorrow and intimacy. In addition to showing us that the greatest gifts are often hidden in the things we avoid, he offers powerful tools and rituals and a list of resources to help us transform grief into a force that allows us to live and love more fully.

Review “In The Wild Edge of Sorrow Francis Weller offers his readers a breath-taking and dramatic journey of inner discovery into personal pain resolution, planetary healing, and soul development. It is an essential publication—one that offers precious guidance and insight for those who are strong enough, as well as mature enough, to probe and challenge the darkness.” —Spirituality Today “The Wild Edge of Sorrow marries uncommon compassion with clear-eyed discernment in its invitation to the reader to become a soul activist in a soul-devouring culture. It is a comprehensive manual for conscious grieving and opening to the unprecedented joy and passion that result from embracing our sorrow.” —Carolyn Baker, PhD, author of Love in the Age of Ecological Apocalypse and Collapsing Consciously “The Wild Edge of Sorrow is extraordinary, and explores the ongoing pain of separation from community and nature that we all feel. Reading Weller’s book, I've realized that we have a lot of unprocessed grief to share. This book will be a gift to many.” —Charles Eisenstein, author of The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible “Weller guides us into the difficult geography of sorrow and helps us find our way back to our souls. He brings much-needed medicine to a culture that relies upon distraction and anesthesia to cope with the daily losses that surround us.” —Malidoma Somé, author of The Healing Wisdom of Africa: Finding Life Purpose Through Nature, Ritual, and Community “This book rings a shivering bell of hope: that, when lifted by ritual and fellowship, the moist ground of grief actually contains a treasury of gifts that are our ancestral birthright. A delightful wisdom shines through every page of The Wild Edge of Sorrow.” —Martin Shaw, author of A Branch From The Lightning Tree“This book is not only a map to navigate some of the most tender and difficult regions of the psyche, but a work of literary art.” —Kim Rosen, author of Saved by a Poem: The Transformative Power of Words “Quite possibly the best guidebook ever crafted on the art of grieving, this volume is also a brilliant and poetic handbook for becoming fully human, more exquisitely alive, and more able to contribute to cultural change. The Wild Edge of Sorrow invites us into the very heart of sorrow, profound healing, and a deepened communion with each other and Earth.” —Bill Plotkin, author of Wild Mind: A Field Guide to the Human Psyche and Soulcraft: Crossing into the Mysteries of Nature and Psyche "This book is a work of beauty: beauty in its language, its poetic sensibility, in its deep insights into the nature of loss and its effect on the human soul. Weller's book is, finally, a healing balm. It shows how our tears may be the redemptive waters we have needed for so long." —Roger Housden, author of Ten Poems to Say Goodbye"Francis Weller’s book, The Wild Edge of Sorrow is so deeply honest, insightful, and hopeful. His style of writing and speaking is poetic, and yet one feels as though they are in conversation with a neighbor. Should you purchase the book, read it with a pen by your side. You’ll want to underline and remember the rich prose on every page." —Marianna Cacciatore, author of Being There for Someone in Grief"The warmth of Weller’s voice and his beautiful language, will speak directly to your soul, in a way your soul has longed to feel embraced. His words will open your heart to receive your own most tender and vulnerable feelings as a gift to be cherished as they may bring forth a new depth of connection to the soul of the world." —Dr. Risa Kaparo, author of Awakening Somatic Intelligence

Please read this book and heed its call By Jenny Melford I am a bereaved Mom, having tragically and unexpectedly lost my 23 month old son Hunter about 4 years ago. I have read A LOT of books on grief, dying, sorrow and loss, and The Wild Edge of Sorrow is among the best of the best. Weller's language is poetic, and his offering is really quite unique. He touches on all the many ways we all carry grief, with most of our grief and sorrow deemed unacceptable or unworthy by our society...and the ramifications of these dismissals....and why we need to change....In Chapter 2 he references a retreat he held where there was a grief shrine and ritual, I was touched so deeply at my core by the description I wept and wept, for I had always hoped something like this existed - a place and a community where I could express my broken heart, wailing and weeping with wild abandon from that place inside that is drowning in sadness, but nonetheless remains mostly muffled....This man is doing amazing work! We need to honor our grief, every single one of us. Please read this book and heed its call.

With our unending focus on moving forward, improving ourselves, and the social addiction to appearing competent and in control, we have lost the sacred role that grieving plays in weaving our world back together. Francis Weller is a brilliant and heartfelt guide in how we can enter the healing ground of sorrow so that new life can be brought into the world. At a time when we are all suffering silently under the weight of immense sorrows: our own, our family's, the sorrow of a devastated environment and destroyed cultures, Francis takes on the endeavor of teaching us how to be healers through the skill of grieving. This book will be a testament to a major shift in our consciousness that must happen if we are to survive as a species. We are not islands into ourselves. When one of us is ill we are all ill. Through the gateways of grief we find our unity once more, and we begin creating a world that embraces all life. This is soul activism. It is sacred work.
10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Touches your soul By Mary Friedel-hunt Francis Weller's new book leaves me even more speechless than his first (Entering the Healing Ground). This book is truly a meditation book that reaches deep into my soul and often leaves me in tears. It is a gift to all who read it and those who do read it will see themselves in every page and in each poetic sentenceIt is clear to me that Francis Weller is playing an essential role in the larger healing of our planet. How grateful I am for his acceptance of this gift and role. In addition to the meditative and poetic writing, it just makes so much sense. As a people we have allowed fear and denial and our "need" to fit in and be like everyone else.. to fog our vision. This book lifts that fog and educates as it leads the reader to see themselves (their joy and grief) so much more clearly.I can't recommend this book enough to every person. As a bereavement counselor and a bereaved woman who recently lost my husband, I have read more books and articles on grief than I can count. This easily stands out as the very best.
