This is a part of a healthy grief which is not often encouraged.\" - Madeline L'EngleWritten with love, humility, and faith, this brief but poignant volume was first published under a pseudonym, as it was considered too raw. Written moment-to-moment as Lewis processed the loss of his wife to cancer, this is more than a mere book on grief, but a visceral hand outstretched in the darkness, a reluctant guide through the \"mad midnight moments\" of mourning and loss.Key learnings that Lewis discusses are: Pain is instrumental in the process of spiritual growth Through hardship we often gain the best wisdom Memories are treasures that will comfort you tomorrowThis work inspired the award-winning film The Shadowlands, starring Anthony Hopkins. Writing A Grief Observed as \"a defense against total collapse, a safety valve,\" he came to recognize that \"bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love.\" A Grief Observed reminds us that, Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51934737236256,"sku":"USED0060652381","price":12.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71nI7LJwyPL_8165d984-c6f7-49df-b215-1f220db0ffd1.jpg?v=1783015284","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-grief-observed-0060652381","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
