About this listen
Each section is designed to be a discussion session for a group or 5-12 students about the essay A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis. Allow each student to respond to the first question before going on to the next. Allow for more time if some student has difficulty understanding or answering the question. It is my hope that these will assist you in helping young people make sense of death(s) in their lives.
