A Grief Observed

Throughout the whole story I felt like it really revealed more and more as I read the story. At first, I did not quite understand until I really looked deeper into it. I must say reading this really made me value the relationships that I do have. I must say that I can relate to Lewis because last year I lost my Grandpa last year. This was probably one of the most difficult times of my life.  I really like how he talks about how God is involved in his life still. I mean you have to figure losing a wife is not going to be the easiest thing to go through. It would be really hard to focus on God going through tough circumstances but I guess that is the test we go through. You do not realize how much the things you go through can really affect other people by you just telling them your story.  I look at it like God is not going to put you through anything that you cannot handle.  Of course going through this you are going to have a different set of mind through these situations though. As I read this I just thought of all the people that are probably going through this right now. It made me really think about how I can help people and tell them how I dealt with it. The story reminded me of “Joel” just because of how sad and depressed it was.  I can also relate the story to the Blessed House” just because they both are in a relationship. Both relationships have problems, but different problems. I mean in the story though you really have to look at how we are looking at H’s side. We never really had the chance to get into deep conversation with Jack. I mean there are always different views from each person.  At the end of the story I felt like they just kind of left you there. I was engaged in the story and still wanted to know more. This story really made me think about people that lose someone in their life every day. I could not image the people that lose siblings or parents. I mean I lost my grandpa, but I think that losing someone closer would really be devastating. I guess what I am trying to say is reading this just really made me appreciate all the close people in my life.
