This is a part of a healthy grief which is not often encouraged.\" - Madeline L'Engle?Written with love, humility, and faith, this brief but poignant volume was first published under a pseudonym, as it was considered too raw. Written moment-to-moment as Lewis processed the loss of his wife to cancer, this is more than a mere book on grief, but a visceral hand outstretched in the darkness, a reluctant guide through the \"mad midnight moments\" of mourning and loss. ?Key learnings that Lewis discusses are:? Pain is instrumental in the process of spiritual growth? Through hardship we often gain the best wisdom? Memories are treasures that will comfort you tomorrowThis work inspired the award-winning film The Shadowlands, starring Anthony Hopkins.? Writing A Grief Observed as \"a defense against total collapse, a safety valve,\" he came to recognize that \"bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love.\" A Grief Observed reminds us that, ?Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.?\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49678285144304,"sku":"NEW006065273X","price":14.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/a-grief-observed-by-c-s-lewis-1","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
