A Grief Observed

"No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear… The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing… There is a sort of invisible blanket between the world and me. I find it hard to take in what anyone says…"

 (C. S. Lewis, from A Grief Observed, a journal of his thoughts and feelings after the death of his wife, Joy)
