Alone into the Alone
Karen Gray
Hello everyone:
Does anyone recognize this phrase:
"Alone into the alone"
as appearing in any writings of CSL or of Joy Davidman Gresham Lewis?
Thanks for any help,

No, I don't recognize it. But if Joy wrote it at a time when she was
contemplating her cancer, I, as someone who recently received a diagnosis
of cancer, can tell you that the phrase accurately portrays some of the
thoughts that pass by.
Mr. Gresham, did your mother write about her experience with cancer?
If so, I'd love to read some of it.

I'm afraid not. Her case was particularly virulent, and back then
treatment was not as effective as it is today so she was really
too busy fighting it to write about it.

In "Grief Observed" Lewis says that Joy quoted "alone into the alone"
and said that that was what terminal illness felt like. He doesn't say
what it was a quote from: presumably he expected us to know.
