I have just finished reading A Grief Observed, by CS Lewis and I loved it. He wrote this essay (under a pseudonym) after losing his wife and it's a short brilliant reading.
He basically goes through all the grief process with a very calm approach, questioning his grief and emotions, as well as his faith (a lot, I didn't really saw myself in this but some might).
Because I'm 13 months into my grief the first pages reminded me of the raw first weeks/months while I feel i'm closer to the kind of peaceful conclusion of the book but I'd love to hear if some of you have read it and what they made of it.
I wasn't sure at first because what's the point of reading a book about emotions you're going through yourself, etc. But it's really good and I really loved the fact that he wrote it as a personal diary, not for an audience, and getting deep into questioning his state of mind and his love.
