RD BK WILD EDGE OF SORROW

 A

Here’s a table summarizing key quotes from "The Wild Edge of Sorrow" by Francis Weller:

Theme Quote Explanation
Grief as Initiation "Grief is not a passive state but an active duty." Grieving is essential for personal transformation.
Communal Healing "The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other." Healing happens through shared sorrow and joy.
The Five Gates of Grief "We are shaped and softened by the losses we endure." Loss helps us grow emotionally and spiritually.
Cultural Amnesia "We live in a flat-line culture, one that refuses to truly engage with grief." Modern society suppresses grief, limiting healing.
The Role of Ritual "Without a container, grief can consume us." Rituals help process sorrow in a structured way.
