C. S. Lewis
The Spiritual Journey of GriefA Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis’s honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. Written after his wife’s tragic death as a way of surviving the “mad midnight moments,” A Grief Observed is an unflinchingly truthful account of how loss can lead even a stalwart believer to lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings.

"3⭐️."

"As much about faith as it is about grief. This book should be read by all who believe in God."
Alessandro Rosborough
"Actual rating: 3.5 stars<br/><br/>There were thoughts expressed that made me go "yes, yes this is exactly how I feel. Finally it has been put into words." The religious/spiritual philosophizing was harder for me to grasp."
Liesl Prentice
"One of my favorites for sure. I’ve read a lot of his. I’m gonna read The Problem of Pain next I think."
Leah Weaver
"All the tumultuous emotions that accompany grief."
Leslie Sanchez
"Heartbreakingly beautiful."

Derek Boemler
"Raw, honest, and rather bleak at times, this book captures the thoughts of a man grappling with grief. It’s not the feel-good-just-trust-God-formula that’s often handed out among Christians— albeit mostly well-intentioned, but often misplaced. It’s quite comforting to sit in the pain of suffering and grief in the company of someone who gets it, who doesn’t offer up empty platitudes and allows space for the most vulnerable and taboo of questions."
