Love, Grief, and Healing by Faith Njahĩra Wangarĩ, is a deeply personal and reflective exploration of grief, love, healing, and self-discovery. Drawing from her experiences as a wheelchair user with muscular dystrophy, the book is a collection of raw and intimate ten days of journal entries from 2020, paired with a "Gift of Present" reflection from 2025, where the author revisits her growth and healing, and "Personal Reflection" prompts for readers to engage with their own experiences.
The book begins with the author’s experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time that provided the space to confront long-held grief and pain. Through moments of mourning, self-reflection, and community support, Faith learns to embrace love, even amidst fear of further loss.
Her experiences with grief writing workshops, therapy, and meditation help her process her emotions and rediscover joy. The author’s vulnerability shines through as she reflects on her struggles with shame, fear, and self-betrayal, while also celebrating moments of joy, adventure, and connection.
Ultimately, her journey is one of transformation—moving from fear and self-betrayal to self-love, acceptance, and a renewed faith in life’s beauty.
Faith Njahĩra Wangarĩ’s writing is both poetic and profound, offering a mirror for readers to explore their own emotions and experiences. The book is a tribute to the power of storytelling as a tool for healing and a reminder that even in the face of loss, life holds the potential for beauty, love, and transformation.
