c.s. lewis, grief, purgatory

What do you think about C.S. Lewis’s book A Grief Observed and his views on purgatory?

He’s speaking with a perspective severely limited by his grief. His raw emotion sometimes trumps his actual beliefs with the agony of his grief.

They are less long-term convictions than the expression of his immediate emotional devastation.

He recognized their salvation and sincerity, but believed their view of God was often too small, and hence their view of man too big.
