The wild edge of sorrow

Book • 2015

Francis Weller's "The Wild Edge of Sorrow" offers a profound and compassionate exploration of grief and its transformative potential.

Weller moves beyond conventional understandings of grief, delving into its multifaceted nature and its capacity to lead to personal growth and deeper self-understanding.

He emphasizes the importance of embracing and honoring our sorrows, rather than suppressing or avoiding them.

The book explores various forms of grief, including the loss of loved ones, relationships, and dreams, and provides guidance for navigating these challenging experiences.

Weller's work encourages readers to view grief not as an obstacle but as an opportunity for profound transformation and connection to the human experience.
