Grief
Observed
by C. S. Lewis
C.S. Lewis joined the human race when his wife, Joy Gresham, died of
cancer. Lewis, the Oxford don whose Christian apologetics make it seem
like he's got an answer for everything, experienced crushing doubt for
the first time after his wife's tragic death. A Grief Observed contains
his epigrammatic reflections on that period: "Your bid--for God or no God,
for a good God or the Cosmic Sadist, for eternal life or nonentity--will
not be serious if nothing much is staked on it. And you will never discover
how serious it was until the stakes are raised horribly high," Lewis writes.
"Nothing will shake a man--or at any rate a man like me--out of his merely
verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly
before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only
under torture does he discover it himself." This is the book that inspired
the film Shadowlands, but it is more wrenching, more revelatory, and more
real than the movie. It is a beautiful and unflinchingly honest record
of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe,
and how he can gradually regain his bearings. --Michael Joseph Gross

The
Fall of Freddie the Leaf: 20th Aniversary Edition
by Leo Buscaglia
Book Description:
A new edition of the classic fable-which has sold more than 300,000
copies-for anyone who has suffered a permanent loss
Originally published in the fall of 1982, the wonderfully wise and strikingly
simple story of a leaf named Freddie has become one of the most popular
books of our times. How Freddie and his companion leaves change with the
passing seasons, finally falling to the ground with a winter's snow, is
an inspiring allegory illustrating the delicate balance between life and
death.
After offering solace for a generation of adults and children alike,
The Fall of Freddie the Leaf arrives in a classic edition with a beautiful
new package that will appeal to today's readers at a time when stories
of comfort and inspiration have become more important than ever.

After
the Death of a Child : Living With Loss Through the Years
Ann K. Finkbeiner
"This book contains some of the most painful, and at the same time
the most helpful writing I have read since the death of my own son. Those
who will choose to read it will do so because they have experienced the
most devastating loss imaginable - the death of a child. Ann Finkbeiner
is right when she says her book is not for the newly bereaved. There are
no comforting platitudes, no 12 steps, no meditations. No words of wisdom,
no instructions for "getting over it", since, as she says, and everyone
who has been there knows - there IS no getting over it. There's just learning
a different way to live the rest of your life, learning to live with the
pain. You'll only read it if you have the need to, and if you have need
to, please know that I'm very sorry."
