Abstract

Grief, which is a normal reaction to the loss of a loved one, is a stressing life event of first order. The death of one’s spouse is perhaps the most stressing situation that a person has to go through in their life. Shadowlands portrays the life of the Irish writer C.S.Lewis and his relationship with the American poet Helen Joy Davidman until she died of bone cancer. Through marvellous imagery we are offered a thought-provoking view of the pain that accompanies loving another.
