About “A Grief Observed”
Written by C.S. Lewis after his wife's death as a way of surviving what he called the 'mad midnight moment,' this work offers his honest reflections on life, death, and faith amid loss. It includes his statement that only being 'knocked silly' and facing torture bring a person to true self-knowledge, and it records how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning before gradually regaining his bearings.
