Lewis (1898-1963) was a British literary scholar and novelist. In fact, Lewis ultimately comes to a revolutionary redefinition of his own characterisation of God: experiencing gratitude for having received and experienced the gift of a true love. The period of his bereavement was marked by a process of moving in and out of various stages of grief and remembrance, and it becomes obvious that it heavily influenced his spirituality. The book is extremely candid, and it details the anger and bewilderment he had felt towards God after H's death, as well as his impressions of life without her. Based on a personal journal he kept, Lewis refers to his wife as "H" throughout this series of reflections, and reveals that she had died from cancer only three years after their marriage. The book questions the nature of grief, and whether or not returning to normalcy thereafter is even possible within the realm of human existence on earth. ![]() ![]() Non-fiction, religion, Guardian's 100 Best Nonfiction Books of All TimeĪ Grief Observed explores the processes which the human brain and mind undergo over the course of grieving.
