博客來Grief Like Wild Horses is an intimate and unflinching exploration of the delicate, lifelong dance between grief and love. Written by Ingrid Campbell, a grief and trauma counsellor, creative arts therapist and storyteller, this book traverses the raw terrain where heartbreak and hope meet, and where sorrow does not stand alone but is woven through with the love that makes it bearable.
Drawing from her own lived experience - the loss of her mother, the profound grief of losing her son Eliezer, and the enduring wounds of spiritual trauma - Ingrid invites readers into the honest wildness of a life shaped and reshaped by grief’s unpredictable tides. Through memoir, narrative reflection and gentle poetic inquiry, she shows how grief and love remain inseparable companions: love gives grief its shape; grief gives love its depth.
At its heart, Grief Like Wild Horses asks: what if we stopped wrestling with our grief and learnt instead to ride alongside it, to honour it as proof of how deeply we have loved and how fiercely we can live again? With a counsellor’s compassion and a poet’s candour, Ingrid reframes grief as a sacred wildness, not a problem to solve but a truth to tend gently, alongside the love that remains.
This book is not a cure for sorrow. It is an invitation to walk within it, to befriend its lessons, and to trust that love always has the final word. For anyone carrying unspoken pain, Grief Like Wild Horses is both balm and mirror: a testament to the untamed beauty that survives loss and the quiet, defiant hope that healing and love will keep leading us home.
