Description

A Grief Observed by C. S. Lewis In this intimate journal, C. S. Lewis chronicles the aftermath of the bereavement and mourning that followed the death of his wife. With blazing honesty, he grapples with a crisis of religious faith, navigating hope, rage, despair, and love. As he navigates the intense loneliness and feelings of anguish that come with grief, Lewis offers a powerful record of thought and emotion experienced in real time. This unsentimental and modern account of one man's dialogue with despair becomes both compelling and consoling. It is a relief to find that Lewis's testimony offers a glimmer of hard-won hope, allowing one bewildered mind to reach out to another. Death is no barrier to that. A source of great consolation, this book allows readers to experience the full force of Lewis's emotions, from the tiredness and numbness of grief to the petulance and nightmarishness of despair.
