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

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.
Two years after losing my mum, six years after losing my little brother, nine years after losing the older of my two younger brothers, from a million mini losses & traumas to the big and very present one in my life (my marriage), this book found it's way into my hands. And into my heart.I've been studying it. Digesting it. Living it. Honoring it, since I've opened it, a few weeks ago. It is s soul medicine, life changing, heart opening book. Francis Weller has written a masterpiece on the sacred work of grief. As he points out, we live in a grief-phobic, death-fearing society.But I have news for you that you already know: Only a broken heart is capable of great love. He addresses not only our individual grief and sadness, but our communal and ancestral pain. As we live in these painful times, I found deep comfort in his words. It's full of gem after gem articulated with haunting beauty.A few cases in point -1. "There is some strange intimacy between grief and aliveness, some sacred exchange between what seems unbearable and what is most exquisitely alive."2. "Grief and love are sisters, woven together from the beginning. Their kinship reminds us that there is no love that does not contain loss and no loss that is not a reminder of the love we carry for what we once held close."3. "Grief is subversive, undermining the quiet agreement to behave and be in control of our emotions. It is an act of protest that declares our refusal to live numb and small. There is something feral about grief, something essentially outside the ordained and sanctioned behaviors of our culture. Because of that, grief is necessary to the vitality of the soul. Contrary to our fears, grief is suffused with life-force.... It is not a state of deadness or emotional flatness. Grief is alive, wild, untamed and cannot be domesticated. It resists the demands to remain passive and still. We move in jangled, unsettled, and riotous ways when grief takes hold of us. It is truly an emotion that rises from the soul."And my absolute favorite: “Those who undertake the full journey into their grief come back carrying medicine for the world.â€Hell yes!"Grief dares us to love once more."— Terry Tempest Williams
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.
This book validated my belief that the "depression" I have struggled to overcome for more than forty years is not a condition, but a symptom of profound, unexpressed grief. The book was written with a gentle, compassionate voice. I appreciated the author's use of poetry as an aid to soothing the tender places that often cannot be reached through prose. An important book for our detached, coldhearted Western culture.
Really beautiful book about a difficult subject that is not dealt with well in our modern society. In a world filled to the brim with "numbing agents" like drugs, alcohol, sugar, anger, etc., this book feels like a little pool of solace and clarity. Weller's writing really brings out the beauty in sorrow and clears the waters for us to dive in and deal with it. I would recommend it to anyone who has ever lost a loved one, or a dream they had to give up, or a beloved pet...so pretty much everyone!
In this exquisite book Francis Weller gives us insight and wisdom on how to navigate some of the most difficult aspects of our lives. As humans, we cannot escape suffering; to be alive is to experience loss in one form or another. Our society is saturated with grief and yet we are gravely lacking practices and places to process and express the sorrows that we carry. Weller reminds us that grief was never meant to be experienced in isolation and recommends that we find ways to share our heartache and sorrows in community with others. With a kind and compassionate voice, he asks us to have faith in the restorative power of ritual and to trust that in giving our grief the expression it deserves we will be guided out of the darkness and back into a world where we can fully experience the magnificence and beauty of our lives.
