S. Lewis sobre los temas fundamentales de la vida, la muerte y la fe al sufrir una pérdida. Esta obra contiene sus más íntimas reflexiones sobre esa etapa de su vida. Written after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the ""mad midnight moment,"" A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. This work contains his concise, genuine reflections on that period: ""Nothing will shake a man -- or at any rate a man like me -- out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself."" This is a beautiful and unflinchingly honest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings.

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 anguish that we all face in times of great loss. C.S. Lewis questions his beliefs in this graceful and poignant affirmation of faith in the face of senseless loss.
