I am really impressed by how skillfully this film weaves together people's experiences with personal loss and grief and CS Lewis' wisdom in A Grief Observed. It is very professionally and sensitively done. What a great resource for those who are grieving as well as for helpers including counselors pastors and friends of those walking through a dark valley. The narration and music are soothing the truths offered filled with hope. I highly recommend this film.

- Through a Lens Darkly

This program is a perfect encouragement for someone going through a time of loss whether from illness the death of a loved one the loss of a job or other great loss. C.S. Lewis' book A Grief Observed is a remarkably honest look at the raw emotions painful thoughts and faith challenges that come with the loss of a loved one. The producers of Through a Lens Darkly have done a masterful job of sharing the true gripping stories of real people who have faced impossible loss interwoven with excerpts and a review of Lewis' book. The result is a beautiful collection of stories of people in varying stages of grief all helping us to see that we are OK in our grief and we are never ever alone. The program is beautifully done with great sensitivity and encouragement for those who are hurting. I highly recommend this as a gift for those facing loss or as a resource for groups or individuals.
