When book clubs can't navigate intellectual and emotional territory together

Four of us in our senior book club started reading about mortality and meaning after one member's husband died, but now every discussion becomes either too intellectual or someone breaks down crying, and we can't figure out how to actually think together about these questions we're all living.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is oscillating between detached analysis and raw emotion because they lack a framework for integrating both mind and heart around ultimate questions.
