The Wild Edge of Sorrow

Francis Weller

About this book

Maps the five 'gates of grief' most Westerners never pass through. A fierce and tender invitation to mourn fully — and discover what is renewed in that passage.

Key themes

  • The first gate of grief: personal loss
  • The second gate: what we never had
  • The third gate: the sorrows of the world
  • The fourth gate: ancestral grief inherited without being named
  • The fifth gate: ecological grief — mourning what we are doing to the earth
