Seeking Wisdom in Death's Shadows: Collected Writings on How We Grieve is a rich compilation of nine original and fourteen previously published essays that makes accessible the origins and development of Thomas Attig's most significant and sometimes revolutionary contributions to understanding and living in the shadows of death, dying, loss, and grief. Together for the first time in one volume, the collection constitutes a natural companion to Attig's How We Grieve: Relearning the World and The Heart of Grief: Death and the Search for Lasting Love. Gathered together, these essays trace significant developments in Attig's thinking through nearly fifty years in the discipline, including his web metaphor for the embodied, interdependent, soulful, spiritual, and resilient grieving self; his groundbreaking view of grieving as relearning how to live in a world changed profoundly by loss; and his view that the wisdom needed for effective grieving supports engaging with mysteries or challenges in life that none can change, control, or solve. The book is divided into five sections, beginning with an introduction to the author's applied philosophy of life with loss and grief. This is followed by sections on contemporary discussions about grieving, aspects of self and grieving, caregiving in death's shadows, and harvesting wisdom. Together, this volume's presentation of original essays accompanied by pieces drawn from the scholarly literature cover an expansive range of topics, constructive critiques of several strands of influential contemporary thinking about them, and a unique philosophical approach and understanding that offers timeless value to scholars, practitioners, and grievers alike.
