Summary

"In this lyrical handbook for mastering the art of grieving, noted psychotherapist Francis Weller reveals the new vitality we encounter when we welcome, rather than fear, the pain of loss. Those who work with people in grief, who have experienced the loss of a loved one, who mourn the ongoing destruction of our planet, or who suffer the accumulated traumas of a lifetime will appreciate the transformative insights presented here through story and poetry. Weller highlights the intimate bond between grief and gratitude, sorrow and intimacy. He shows us that the greatest gifts are often hidden in the things we avoid, and offers powerful tools and rituals to help us transform grief into a force that allows us to live and love more fully." -- back cover
