Über diesen Titel

Written after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the "mad midnight moments", A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. 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. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself."

This is a beautiful and unflinchingly honest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings.

Ein Begleiter im Trauerprozess. Lewis beschreibt sehr ehrlich. der Sprecher ist super, man glaubt Lewis selbst zuzuhören.

Trauer

One of the smartest minds in theology crumbles as it faces grief. Oh what a comfort it is to know, that I am not just too dumb to understand but that grief is as real and authentic as it gets.

A perfect summary of grief
