Listened to this one. An elegy of sorrow I was unprepared for. This grief is so alien to me that I couldn’t fully connect with it, but his state of mind is clarity itself.

hurt to give my birthday twin a low rating but the god talk was a little too much for me. originally i was under the impression that it would be more focused on his wife. which it did have quite a lot of good metaphors and descriptions of his grief and love for her. in turn, it was also his connection with god and religion that kept him turning. he lost his wife after 4 years of marriage to cancer; which would make anyone question their beliefs. learning he was once an atheist as a teen who converted to Christianity was wild. if you are more religious than i, you would probably really enjoy this short read.

Reassuring and helpful
"A Grief Observed" is helpful to put into words some of the emotions and questions one wrestles with while experiencing grief. A good read, and not too long.

This is another beautifully written piece of work. C.S. Lewis is raw and unfiltered with his grief, his questions, his reflections. It's a piece that I think more should read to normalize asking the tough questions within Christianity.
