A Grief Observed

C.S. Lewis's honest contemplation on the fundamental questions of life death and faith in the midst of loss is in A Grieving Observed a famous essay on grief. A Grief Observed is an unflinchingly honest story of how grief may cause even the most devoted believer to lose all sense of meaning in the universe and the uplifting tale of how he can perhaps regain his bearings written after his wife's untimely death as a way of surviving the mad midnight moments.
