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.</p><p><em>The Wild Edge of Sorrow</em> 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.</p><p>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.</p>(*_*)9781583949757_<p>"It blew me away. I underlined things on nearly every page." Anderson Cooper, <em>All There Is</em></p><p><em>The Wild Edge of Sorrow</em> offers hope and healing for a profoundly fractured worldand a pathway home to the brightness, pains, and gifts of being alive.</p><p>Introducing the <strong>5 gates of grief</strong>, psychotherapist Francis Weller explores how we move through the waters of grief and loss in a culture so fundamentally detached from the needs of the soul.</p><p> The <strong>first gate</strong> recognizesand invites us to acceptthe painful truth that <em>everything we love, we will lose</em>. With this acceptance comes beauty and responsibilityand an openness into which we can pour the full love of our hearts. At the first gate, we meet the sorrow of losing a loved one; the grief of illness; and the unique and profound pains that accompany loss by suicide.</p><p> The <strong>second gate</strong> helps us uncover and tend to <em>the places that have not known love</em>: the neglected pieces of our soul that need restoration and care. These places can be our secret shames, or the parts of us that we feel are undeserving of love. At the second gate, we face our shadows and heal our most tender wounds.</p><p> The <strong>third gate</strong> meets us at <em>the sorrows of the world</em>, inviting us to open to the grave pain of our planet: the destruction of ecosystems, the harms of extractive capitalism, the unfathomable pain of war and occupation. We learn to honor and hold this grief even as we move through it, recommitting ourselves to the actions our souls call upon us to perform in service of healing and renewal.</p><p> The <strong>fourth gate</strong>, <em>what we expected but did not receive,</em> is present in each and every one of our lives. We may need love from a parent or partner unable to give it; we may lack the language to ask for the care we deserve. Each is a loss that must be acknowledged and grieved to move toward wholeness.</p><p> The <strong>fifth gate</strong> opens to our <em>ancestral grief</em>: the traumas, pains, losses, and unrealized dreams of those who came before us. Weller invites us to reconnect to our bodies, our communities, and the ancestral knowledge we hold in our bones...but may have forgotten.</p><p>Profoundly moving, beautifully written, this book is a balm for the soul and a necessary salve for moving together through difficult times. Grounded in ritual and connection, <em><strong>The Wild Edge of Sorrow</strong></em> welcomes each grief with care and attention, opening us to the feelings, experiences, and sacred knowledge that connect us to each other and ultimately make us whole.</p>...(*_*)9781583949757_<p>Hope and healing for a profoundly fractured worlda pathway home to the brightness, pains, and gifts of being alive</p><p>The bestselling book on grief and loss from psychotherapist Francis Weller: One of the best books on grief I have ever read.
