The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief

It is time to grieve and mourn the dead and believe in the power of renewal. If we do not embrace our grief, our sadness will come out sideways in unexpected forms of depression and violence.

Grief is love. How can we hold this grief without holding each other? To bear witness to this moment of undoing is to find the strength and spiritual will to meet the dark and smoldering landscapes where we live. We can cry.

grief is not a problem to be solved or a malady to be cured. It’s a sacred reality to be entered.
