The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief
Splintered by grief and rage, inconsolable, Demeter neglects her divine tasks and the earth, once fertile, grows desolate. The people are hungry, and the gods are mortified. They beg Demeter to get over herself, let her daughter go, and get back to work creating plenitude. Demeter does not cease from mourning. She cannot. Nor should she.
