The Bottom Of The Well
What if some of the ways we experience grief began long before we had words to describe them?
The Bottom of the Well follows Ellie McGuire through a lifetime of loss, grief, and discovery.
Through Ellise's story, the book explores grief not only as something we encounter through loss, but as something that may be carried in the body and nervous system from the very beginning of life.
Drawing from Ellie's experiences and the work of Ray Castellino, the story gently explores how early experiences may continue to influence the way we meet loss, change, relationship, and ourselves.
This is not a book about getting over grief. It is about discovering what can happen when we are able to stay present with what is here, listen to the body, and gently allow what has been carried for a long time to begin to move.
Sometimes healing begins when we are willing to look at what lies at the bottom of the well.
