A Grief Observed

Short Review: I have not experienced a great loss (parent, child, spouse), so books like this feel odd to read. I have read some others on grief and loss and my lack of great loss means that I am unsure of what would be helpful for those that are experiencing loss. I do think this is a worthwhile short read on theoretically what it means to experience loss. Lewis is very real, his questions and lament I think are meaningful because I can see how that type of pain would be experienced. I also can see how this would not be helpful for many. No everyone wants to explore the meaning of life or the purpose in pain while they are experiencing loss. I am glad I have read this, I hope I do not have to experience the type of pain he is talking about any time soon.
