perhaps if i knew more about god, i would know it’s blasphemous to want answers, and perhaps if i knew more about philosophy, i would know it’s foolish to suggest there are answers.

a grief observed by c.s. lewis

he wrote four short notebooks after the death of his wife about his grieving process and spiritual crises that it entailed. (i'm not a religious person but didn't feel alienated by his discussions about his christianity.) the beauty of his writing and his love for his wife are so gorgeous and heartbreaking. if you have the emotional bandwidth for it, i highly, highly recommend.

IT’S OKAY THAT YOU’RE NOT OKAY

That’s a book you could read. It’s a way of thinking about grief differently than it usually is portrayed in popular culture. In pop culture we’re usually shown grief as stages to proceed through, and a journey that ends with someone better off after losing someone (having gained insight or a romantic partner, etc). A thing that stuck with me was the author telling someone whose loved one died two years previously that the person had just died. Two years is a blink. And the point of grief isn’t to get over it at some point. Anyway that’s not a great paraphrasing!
