Excerpt

It feels like being afraid, feels like drunkenness, feels like you received a concussion, feels like suspense, compared with that of an amputee, or a river valley and with characteristics of laziness and selfishness. According to C.S. Lewis in his book, A Grief Observed, grief is all of these things. Like C.S. Lewis, we all experience grief sometime in our live, but it may not always be just as he described it.
