GRIEF OBSERVED, A PAPER
Description
What began as a series of personal journaling after the loss of his wife, A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the anguish, loss, and confusion of grief:
"Nothing will shake a man - or at any rate a man like me - out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself."
Initially published under a pseudonym, this raw reflection taken from Lewis' personal writing is a beautiful and unflinching record of how even the brokenhearted can make sense of the dark depths of pain and loss, and how God can meet you in the midst of it.
