Thanks for all the great recommendations. I ended up buying a stack of C.S. Lewis books and added many more from the thread below to my reading list.

A Grief Observed, was required reading for one of my psychology courses and it’s stayed with me since I read it. It’s short, but not an easy read. It’s rare to see someone so gifted with words chronicle the stages of grief unintentionally. It was written before the psychological framework was documented. It’s raw and difficult but very powerful. Not a casual read per se, but one I find myself re-reading when I have to deal with those emotions.

oh. C.S Lewis! i cannot count the number of times i have gone back to read A Grief Observed. i lost my dad in 2019. being a reader, i looked for a number of books to deal with my grief, i guess.😅 i was already a fan of his Narnia books so Lewis has stayed with me for years. Chimamanda Adichie's Notes on Grief too was an interesting read.
