C.S. Lewis Quotes
If A Mother Is Mourning Not For What She Has Lost But For What Her Dead Child Has Lost, It Is A Comfort To Believe That The Child Has Not Lost The End For Which It Was Created. And It Is A Comfort To Believe That She Herself, In Losing Her Chief Or Only Natural Happiness, Has Not Lost A Greater Thing, That She May Still Hope To "glorify God And Enjoy Him Forever." A Comfort To The God-aimed, Eternal Spirit Within Her. But Not To Her Motherhood. The Specifically Maternal Happiness Must Be Written Off. Never, In Any Place Or Time, Will She Have Her Son On Her Knees, Or Bathe Him, Or Tell Him A Story, Or Plan For His Future, Or See Her Grandchild.
