Show Notes

C.S. Lewis struggled with grief following the death of his wife Joy and later published a journal — A Grief Observed — of his thoughts during that time. C.S. Lewis scholar Art Lindsley describes for us the progression of Lewis’s grief and how his faith, though challenged, was gradually restored. Lindsley concludes that when we experience such pain — as we all will — a little courage, a little human sympathy, and the love of God will help.
