Understanding Grief (Paperback or Softback)

In Understanding Grief, Martina Faulkner explores the nature of grief and how it relates to loss and love, by looking at the concept of grief from myriad angles. Her approach focuses on the inherent duality of grief—that it is a universal experience while also something to be expressed uniquely. Purposefully created to be informative and inviting, Faulkner has created a “user manual” for anyone moving through the grief process.

Beautifully designed to be both visually calming as well as emotionally supportive, this book is one that anyone can use to help them move through periods of loss, whether from death, disease, or change.

Understanding Grief is the second book to be released as part of Faulkner’s UNDERSTANDING series. The first book, Understanding Karma, was released in February 2025. Future titles include: Understanding Gratitude, Understanding Resilience, Understanding Energy, Understanding Hope, and Understanding Compassion.
