“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.” C.S. Lewis, from A Grief Observed

Loss comes in many forms: The grief over the death of a loved one, the devastation of a physical or mental impairment, the pain of divorce or separation, or the distress of job loss and foreclosure. The physical and emotional responses to grief can be as heart wrenching as the loss itself. So where does a person turn for answers and encouragement in a time of despair, doubt or fear?

Through a Lens Darkly: Grief, Loss and C.S. Lewis will uplift the soul with moving stories of individuals and families touched by significant loss who have begun their journey to recovery, and who share their thoughts on the timeless wisdom of C.S. Lewis’s most personal and reflective book, A Grief Observed. This literary review offers real-life examples to help viewers begin to recognize and cope with the many emotions and seasons of their own grief and identify the best approaches to help others through the grieving process.

Grief doesn’t have to feel like fear anymore. Anyone facing personal devastation can find a path to healing and hope in this inspirational and informative film. Through a Lens Darkly won Best Historical Film at the 2011 International Christian Film Festival
