"No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear."
— C. S. LEWIS

This came to my attention via an online site dedicated to thought provoking quotations and the history behind them. The site sends an e-mail every week...my husband found it interesting and turned me and many of his students into subscribers. Yesterday the theme was grief and the C. S. Lewis quotation, which I had read before, struck me anew. I do feel such fear now, about so many things, strangely including some quite trivial. Even writing this down makes my heart pound a bit, very odd.
Another quotation from the same e-mail came from long ago British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli, who wrote that ‘the indulgence of grief is the blunder of a lifetime.’ That somehow resonates with me, though not in the same visceral way that the C. S. Lewis quotation does.
