The Books
Hold Fast: Navigating Personal and Climate Grief with a Reconciled Heart
(Twilight River Press)
A powerful book that begins with the story of the sudden death of Wendy’s husband, Karl, and her path to healing by discovering some key processes that support the reconciliation of grief. That is Part One.
Part Two turns to the ever-present sorrows of climate grief and explores ways humans can navigate this huge change in life on Earth.
Opening to Climate Grief: A Workbook Companion to Hold Fast
(Twilight River Press)
A spacious, 140-page, letter-format Workbook for people wishing to express their feelings about climate grief, with ample space for drawing, writing, doodling, or pasting in. Designed to lie flat for intensive journaling work.
The content is based on the Hold Fast book, its companion.
Creeksong: One Woman Sings the Climate Blues (revised edition) (Tellwell Talent, Victoria BC)
An updated version of the path-breaking 2023 memoir about Wendy’s life as an environmentalist, including details of her one-year “initiatory journey” in the Australian bush at midlife.
