The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief
Why I recommend it
Weller makes room for grief beyond the death of a loved one, including losses of place, belonging, and possibilities. He asks how we can carry grief together.
What stayed with me
Grief is harder when we’re expected to handle it privately. Community and ritual can give sorrow somewhere to go.
Who it’s useful for
People living with loss and those supporting them.
A tension or limitation
The book draws from several spiritual and cultural traditions. Those practices have histories and communities of their own.
