Summary
This 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.

An account of grief written from the heart.
I listened to this soon after my mum passed away and found it helpful. Listening again 3 months later I can identify with so much more with what CS Lewis writes. Especially about recalling what a person was like when they lived. I highly recommend this book.

a must for anybody alive
this book has two ten minute introductions which i am not reviewing..
i have listened to this book several times now and its raw honesty takes my breath away
no easy answers here thank God, more of a journey through a sea of pain to.. Well the book is a hopeful one i believe and death doesn't have the last laugh.
if like me you haven't really experienced grief but know somebody who has this might help you understand
excellently read by Ralph Cosham.

Needed to listen to this book
As someone who just lost their father to suicide albeit 2 and half years ago, this book touched me in ways that I didn't realise I needed to think about. I would not have been able to listen to it immediately after my fathers death, my mind was too raw. Understanding that others feel the hurt and pain has made me feel able to start processing life again.
Life is not over, is one phrase which I needed to hear.

Scarily accurate; how comforting
No author has ever been so scarily able to enter my mind and articulate my feelings on the pain of loss.

Wow
Should be called a torture observed. For a brief chapter in his life he felt whole, validated, connected and loved. The saying better to have loved and lost rings very true.

Makes me feel like I'm not alone in this
It's like Lewis put all of my thoughts into one little cohesive and intelligible book. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has thought this way and I'm grateful that God gifted Lewis in such a beautiful way

Grief- is just like this
I have experienced a major loss recently. This book articulates it so well. The early stages of grief. I have found it comforting to hear my thoughts and experiences via this Audiobook.

Great short performance of an interesting book
it was a little weird to hear the Oblivion NPC coming out of my speakers at first, but the narrator does a great job. it's pretty heartbreaking to hear everything Lewis went through writing this, and as it's free in the plus catalogue I'd recommend it unless you have some very raw bereavement issues of your own to deal with and think it may trigger you.
