A Grief Observed
Book • 1961
A Grief Observed is a collection of C.S.
Lewis's reflections on his experience of bereavement after the death of his wife, Joy Davidman, in 1960.
The book explores the processes undergone by the human brain and mind during grief, questioning the nature of grief, faith, and theodicy.
Lewis writes candidly about his anger and bewilderment towards God, his struggle to maintain his faith, and the gradual reacceptance of his theories on suffering.
The book is compiled from four notebooks Lewis used to vent and explore his grief, offering profound insights into the human experience of loss and the search for meaning in the midst of suffering.
