Salome Njau’s Tears of Love is a deeply moving and genuinely comforting book for anyone grappling with the profound loss of a loved one or marriage partner. The title might suggest sadness, but the pages deliver a powerful message of hope, resilience, and faith.

Njau navigates the raw, difficult terrain of grief with honesty and a gentle, empathetic touch. It doesn’t offer quick fixes but instead provides a shared journey of healing, making the reader feel less alone in their pain. The book is structured to encourage reflection and offers practical, spiritual insights into moving forward while honoring the memory of those who have passed.

If you are struggling to find a path through bereavement, Tears of Love is a warm, necessary companion that reminds you that love endures and that healing is possible. Highly recommended for its sincerity and uplifting power.

Amazing to see what God can do even at our lowest and vulnerable moments of our lives when we yield back to His will concerning us.

Salome becomes a role model to many women who have passed through grief of a beloved one and discover resilience to rise up again.

From the pain she has gone through this great ministry of reaching out to others has been born.

“Tears of Love” becomes a balm of psychological, physical and emotional healing to those who will reach out to it.

Thank you so much Salome for allowing God to use you in such an amazing way. You are such a great blessing to the world. Congratulations on your nomination to ACABA 2025👏 🎉

Tears of love is indeed a profound book written by Salome Njau. Salome is a lady so passionate about her work with widows both in Kenya and beyond. She has impacted so many widows by giving them a bearing after loss of husbands. This has greatly been influenced by her own journey of loss. I would say Salome took lemons thrown her way and has been continuously making lemonade that has refreshed her and many others. I wish Salome all the best.
