Weller, Francis, 1956-2015
Books
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 anaesthesia 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. In addition to illuminating how ritual, community, and the sacred open us to the healing power of grief, 'The Wild Edge of Sorrow' also offers practical tools and a list of resources to help address the losses that inevitably wend their way into our lives.
