| | Lewis, C. S. (Clives Staples): A Grief Observed |
 | | A Grief Observed, released three years prior to Lewis's own death in 1963, was first published under the pseudonym N. Clerk. | | | In this undated journal, he documents with brief observations first the overwhelming sensations of his grief, then his rage and confusion at God. | | | As time passes, he chronicles his return to religion and his acceptance of a new life, forever shaded by Davidman's presence but still whole. |

| | Theology Today - Vol 46, No.3 - October 1989 - ARTICLE - The Grief of C. S. Lewis |
| | A Grief Observed is closely connected with other Lewis texts, such as the first chapter of Surprised by Joy (1955), his first exercise in being "suffocatingly subjective" in print; the last chapter of The Four Loves (1960); and Letters to Malcolm (published in 1964, after Lewis's own death). | | | This "Platonism" is mediated in Western Christianity by Dante's love for his Beatrice and is crucial for understanding the last lines of A Grief Observed, for Joy is Lewis' sharp-tongued, witty, and intellectual Beatrice. | | | Lewis, A Grief Observed, 1961 (London: Faber, 1985), first published anonymously, no doubt to protect himself from being inundated with yet more correspondence, and of a profoundly stressful kind, while publishing to help others. |

| | A Grief Observed contains his epigrammatic reflections on that period: "Your bid--for God or no God, for a good God or the Cosmic Sadist, for eternal life or nonentity--will not be serious if nothing much is staked on it. | | | For all of Lewis' intellectual reasonings and scholarly attainments, I find "A Grief Observed" to be his best work because it comes from the very heart of a man seeking to find the answers to life's hardest questions. | | | It is not a philosophical insight or an intellectual wrangling, but a spirit-filled work that lays bare the heart of a man who loved his wife completely. |

| | A Grief Observed |
| | I told him about the progress in Ecumenism, about practical cooperation between Lutherans and Catholics, something which really interested him as he soon was going to meet the Pope when he was visiting Uppsala during his Scandinavian trip. | | | A hundred years ago every Swede knew by heart the definition of a Christian. | | | Yet, I also encountered the dogmatic and cultural narrow-mindedness that brushed off allmy queries with: "Once you get light on this, you will think the way we do!" In retrospect I can see the truth in this answer, but I also realize that its relevance is largely dependent upon whom or what this person represents. |

| | Grief is not something to "get over", but a human experience through which we can grow together as God's people, and through which we can find a deeper relationship with God. | | | We can experience the roller-coaster of life and know God is to be trusted. | | | I tell my story to illustrate one person's experience of grief, and only part of that journey. |

| | There is nothing noble about my actions - as in every story she is still the strong one and I the one who is weak - she is the one bearing me up as I pretend to help bear her burden - knowing that her reality is she bears this burden of grief alone. | | | She said " well God will use anything to..." I thought yeah - God made an ass speak to Baalam too... | | | Not only has the world suffered a loss, the Christian music world a great musician, but a mother has lost her son. |

| | 42: CS Lewis: A Grief Observed |
| | Anyway on the tiny shelf for Christian books I found CS Lewis: A Grief Observed (or from Amazon.co.uk). | | | My advice is to read this, but not in a Costa Coffee because you are going to want to cry for him, for yourself and for your loved ones. | | | But you may not be ready for it if the pain is too recent and it will probably be more useful to bereaved believers than to those who have not yet found faith. |

| | 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. | | | Using the same simple and beautiful language he employed in his magical Narnia classics, Lewis turns himself inside out to explore the workings of his shattered heart -- articulating the great democracy of grief. | | | As good as it was, this is the archetypal case of the book being better than the movie. |

| | Lewis suggests that free souls are free only if there is the possibility of suffering because free souls may decide to hurt each other. | | | He still believed in God, but he “was in danger of coming to believe such terrible things about him.” God must be a “Cosmic Sadist”, even a "spiteful imbecile". | | | In A Grief Observed, a book he did not want published using his name, he was no longer a spectator like we are often spectators, hypothesizing doctrine as we watch tsunami carnage on T. Instead, Lewis became the Australian man whose six-month old baby had been swept from his arms. |

| | In C. Lewis: Companion and Guide, released by Harper Colllns in the fall of 1996, Walter Hooper abruptly reverses his claim that Lewis's Grief Observed is fiction. | | | Marshall states in her introduction, "In his wonderfully anecdotal essay, Walter Hooper asserts that A Grief Observed is a carefully constructed' fiction: 'Lewis told me that he felt he had to make it sound autobiographical if it was to help the average man or woman who had lost husband or wife."" | | | Hooper devotes eight paragraphs of the essay to that position: "Considering how angry some people have been when I have told them that A Grief Observed is not straight autobiography, I will be amazed if this paper does not fan the flames. |

| | But then all manner of counseling-handbook wisdom and homogenizing talk-show prattle creep into the dialogue (written by Rob Festinger and Field), even as the Fowlers’ marital angst evolves along predictable lines, as though it were doggedly following some therapy manual on the phases of grief. | | | There’s no loss as devastating — or as likely to speak to a general audience — as the death of a child, an event at once common and extreme. | | | Grief is a wild beast, endured in a host of fiercely individual ways that resist our best efforts to tame it into a “process” with predictable stages of recovery. |
