by C.S. Lewis
Buy on AmazonA Grief Observed is a collection of C. S. Lewis's reflections on his experience of bereavement following the death of his wife, Joy Davidman, in 1960. The book was published in 1961 under the pseudonym N.W. Clerk because Lewis wished to avoid the connection. Though republished in 1963 under his own name after his death, the text still refers to his wife as “H”.

"C.S. Lewis's "A Grief Observed." It was one of a few books that helped me articulate the recent loss of a loved one."
