WILD EDGE OF SORROW (NORTH ATLANTIC) (PB)

This is a lyrical yet practical handbook for mastering the art of grieving and an essential guide for navigating the deep waters of sorrow and loss. Describing how Western patterns of amnesia and anesthesia affect our capacity to cope with personal and collective sorrows, it 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 psychotherapist Francis Weller 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.
