Life-Changing Rumination. Wow. Read this cover-to-cover in one sitting, and was incredibly moved and saddened. Really helped me work through some things in my own life.

Thank You Mr Lewis. Like reading a grieving man’s thoughts out loud. His mind asks questions impossible to have definitive answers. Having lost my wife to the horror of Alzheimer’s and having to observe for a few years the unstoppable and undeniable ravages of a slow decay of her mind and eventually her body. I grieved her pending loss, and her final breath. No life left in that body that held her spirit. Mr Lewis was being brave by being vulnerable. We share a common state of unbelievably painful grief. I take heart that I am not alone, as my scrambled mind experiences the absence of my beloved. God says we are to give the thanks in all of things. Without His Spirit, I find it difficult to give the thanks. But I give it my human effort, and The Spirit takes my faith, as small as a mustard seed, and moves me along. Thank you Mr Lewis, for sharing your deep grief with us all

Immensely Helpful. This book has been immensely helpful. I am in the midst of my own bereavement. My husband of 54 years passed away a month and a half ago. C S Lewis has helped me recognize and understand the grieving process. And its cyclical nature. I got the audio book as well because it is sometimes easier to listen that to read. I recommend it to anyone who has lost a beloved spouse. It points out the light at the the end of the dark tunnel of grief.

C.S Lewis is correct. This is a fantastic read. Deep and honest!

A grief observed. Thank you CS. All that you did has made me a better man.

A thought spoken.....a voice heard.. It was if my thoughts and feelings were spoken out loud and they where heard by C. S. Lewis and he wrote them down. Waiting until my spirit was open enough to hear the truth of the pain, to read and surrender and accept the loss. Thank you, Jack. For my beloved, my brother John.

Lesson of Love. Opened up to me what the practice of love is and the depth to which it goes.

Kindle sample is useless!. I can't believe that a "sample" is the foreword. I don't care about the foreword- I care about what the author wrote! I'll go to a real book store & flip through to see if I want it. I'll make the purchase there.

Infinitely touching and insightful. With the exception of the Bible, I have yet to be this glad to have read a book.

Profound and life affirming.. One of the most moving (and poetic) masterpieces ever written. This very small book (112 pages) had a profound effect on me, and I would submit that the same experience happens upon the reading of it by anyone else with a heart that still beats strongly in their chest. I can’t recommend this book highly enough. One of my all time favorites.

Very Real & Very Strong. To this day nobody, in my opinion, has encapsulated the feeling of deep loss as well as Lewis does in this book. It is so deep and so stunningly honest. One line alone sums up the beauty and gravity of this book and the event it discusses: "Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything." Pure beauty on a page.
