A Grief Observed

In this classic trial of faith, Lewis probes the fundamental issues of life and death, and summons those who grieve to honest mourning and hope in the midst of loss

Written with love and humility, this brief but poignant volume was first published in 1961 and courageously encounters the anger and heart-break that followed the death of his wife, American born poet Joy Davidman. Handwritten entries from notebooks that Lewis found in his home capture the doubt and anquish that we all face in times of great loss. Lewis questions his beliefs in this graceful and poignant affirmation of faith in the face of senseless loss.
