Summary
The Spiritual Journey of Grief

A 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.

Reading another's perspective on their singular grief experience can be helpful in one's own grief. This raw, faith-shaking journal by a celebrated convert-christian is beautifully private. Not being written with intention of publishing, C. S. Lewis questions the very nature of God. Ultimately, his faith strengthens through his loss. Being narrated by his step-son, and child of the lost love, gives the audio book a bittersweet element of love and grief.
