Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Which of the four sections affected you most? Was it the raw despair of Section One, the self-interrogation of Section Two, the unexpected turning of Section Three, or the hard-won clarity of Section Four? What does your answer tell you about where you are in your own life right now?
2.Before reading this book, how would you have described grief? How would you describe it now? What has Lewis changed, complicated, or confirmed in your understanding?
3.Lewis moves from the image of God as a slammed door to God as the great iconoclast who shatters our false images, to something even quieter and more personal by the end. How has your own image of God been challenged or refined through reading this book — or through your own experiences of loss?
