Each chapter explores a new phase of mourning as he openly and honestly sets out his deeply personal feelings that involve shock, anger, despair and ultimately acceptance. The film Shadowlands (1993), about his relationship with the American poet Joy Davidman Gresham, whom he lost to cancer after four years of an intensely happy marriage, led me to A Grief Observed, his searingly honest, searching meditation on the anguish caused by that loss.Ĭomprising four chapters, the book recounts Lewis’s progression through the stages of grief as he struggles to come to terms with his wife’s death.
CS Lewis was an academic, writer and Christian apologist, best known now for his children’s book series The Chronicles of Narnia.
