Grief Observed.

In the first and second chapters of a Grief Observed they completely struck me. I see that C.S. Lewis is up and down with his emotions with the fact that his wife has just passed away. I can understand why he feels the way that he does. Just losing my uncle a month ago, I feel that I have questioned God. I have wondered why me. I have also wondered a lot about what Lewis talks about in chapter two. He questions Christian’s faith, and he wonders where exactly you go when you pass from this Earth. It is like a Christian you have so much faith in what comes after this life, but in reality we really do not know what comes after this life. What we are to expect? I guess this shows our faith in Christ to trust what happens to us after this life is over. C.S. Lewis was right when he stated that it is not bad for those who leaves this Earth but it is bad for those who are left behind. I find this true since my Uncle just passed away. I felt myself happy because I knew that he was free of pain and that he was in a better place, but it is just awful that I have to go on with my life without him. And just like in chapter four when Lewis said that he was forgetting the image his wife. I see it this way. When I left the hospital after my uncle passed I just remember driving my car and looking at the world around me. Everything was still going on, life still goes on. Even though right at that moment my life was in devastation, everything else was still going on around me. It has only been a month since my uncle passed away and the image of him is still with me, but I know as time goes on not seeing his face will soon fade. It is a sad thing to think about but I go on with my life knowing that he is in a better place and he is free of pain. C.S. Lewis is so deep and makes me think the more and more I read, and I begin to see my emotions in a different way and I like to see his emotions and what he feels about not only faith but death too.
