This is a part of a healthy grief which is not often encouraged.\" - Madeline L'Engle?\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Written 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. ?\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Key learnings that Lewis discusses are:\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n · Pain is instrumental in the process of spiritual growth\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n · Through hardship we often gain the best wisdom\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n · Memories are treasures that will comfort you tomorrow\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n This 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":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":54241909571952,"sku":"YSL2091","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/8543\/8576\/files\/ebook_2091_637fb7a89e_7e32be37-a76d-48b1-a548-38028e88389c.jpg?v=1789562820","url":"https:\/\/antbook.store\/en-gb\/products\/a-grief-observed","provider":"ANTBOOK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
