A Grief Observed
by C. S. Lewis (Author), Madeleine L'Engle (Foreword)
https://www.amazon.com/Grief-Observed-C-S-Lewis/dp/0060652381
Written after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the "mad midnight moment," A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. This work contains his concise, genuine reflections on that period: "Nothing will shake a man -- or at any rate a man like me -- out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself." This is a beautiful and unflinchingly honest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings.

Suffering, failure, sin, illness, loneliness, disappointment. They all come in a seemingly endless variety of shapes and sizes. At times there seems to be no way to turn, either backwards or forwards; there is no light at either end of the tunnel. For many people such experiences raise the question: Why has this happened to me? Has God abandoned me? Can nobody help? Is despair all that is left to me?
Disappointment with God: Three Questions No One Asks Aloud
by Philip Yancey
Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Disappointment-With-God-Three-Questions/dp/031021436X
Is God unfair? Is He silent? Is He hidden? These are three questions that Christians wonder but seldom ask aloud. In this book, Disappointment with God, Philip Yancey wrote the odd disparity between our concept of God and the realities of life. Yancey answers the questions with clarity, honesty, and biblical assurance. He points us beyond life's disappointments and the cynicism they can breed to a stronger, wiser faith, a confidence in God's deep love for us, and a thirst to reach not just for what God gives, but for what God is.

Hard times come for all in life, with no real explanation. When we walk
through suffering, it has the potential to devastate and destroy, or to be
the gateway to gratitude and joy. Elisabeth Elliot was no stranger to
suffering. Her first husband, Jim, was murdered by the Waoroni people in
Ecuador moments after he arrived in hopes of sharing the gospel. Her second
husband was lost to cancer. Yet, it was in her deepest suffering that she
learned the deepest lessons about God.
Why doesn't God do something about suffering? He has, He did, He is, and He
will.
