SynopsisIn this modern-day fable, a woman who has suffered a terrible loss cooks up a special batch of tear soup, blending the unique ingredients of her life into the grief process. Along the way she dispenses a recipe of sound advice for people who are in mourning., The award-winning, bestselling children's book is now available as a video, narrated by the nationally-known Mary McDonald-Lewis. In this modern-day fable, a woman who has suffered a terrible loss cooks up a special batch of "tear soup," blending the unique ingredients of her life into the grief process. Along the way she dispenses a recipe of sound advice for people who are in mourning or know someone who has suffered a loss. The video was created by filming the richly-illustrated pages from the book and adding narration and an original score. Together these two resources present a profound message in a sublime way for children, as well as people of all ages. The video provides a new way to offer the helpful messages of Tear Soup to those who have suffered a loss. An appendix in the book contains a helpful listing of grief support groups for a variety of situations. Grief counselors and ministers of many denominations have found Tear Soup a helpful book for those in the first stages of mourning.

Perfect For Anyone Suffering A Loss
Although this appears to be a childrens book it is relavent to anyone of any age going through grief not only from death, but divorce or any major life event. I bought it as it was recommended to me by my grief therapist. The authors obviously know what they are talking about and puts it in simple to understand plain language hence it is good for kids too. In todays world everything is about doing everything fast, don't dwell on the past hurry, hurry, hurry. This applies to people suffering loss the most. People assume that within a month you should basically be over things and on to life. Yippeee right? NOT! When you lose a significant person in your life it tells you things will never be the same which is true. Your world has changed but tells you it is ok to cry, and grieve as long as needed. There is no right or wrong way to do things. We have become sadly a disposable society in which our gadgets seem to have more importance than the most precious things in life. Our love and connections to other people. Having experienced the loss of every family member and the last 4 all in one year I have seen how people react. The week after you return to work etc. everyone says they are sorry and the usual things and 2 weeks later it is back to normal supposedly. I have heard the same story from widows. How they knew as soon as a month or so went by all of their friends would be back living their lives and forgot about their loss and expected them to do the same. This book tells you it is important to never forget and to cherish the sad parts and happy parts of that life with your loved one you are grieving. How that part will never be over. How you tuck it away in that special place and revisit it as often as you need to. Really well written how they incorporated the feelings into a recipe that you can go back to all during the remainder of your life. My thanks to these wonderful authors who got it so right! I also loved the illustrations along the way. Absolutely precious!!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Must have for the classroom
When I was first starting teaching, I joined several facebook groups where experienced teachers advised novices on "must haves" for the classroom. I eagerly bought a bunch of the stuff. Some of those items have never been used. This book is not one of them. Every year, there is at least one student or coworker who suffers a terrible loss, and I give them a copy of this book from my classroom library. It is always well accepted. I knew it was a success when a student who could barely read told me she had read it 3 times in the week I gave it to her. I always keep a couple of these handy for emergencies. I even have it in Spanish.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Excellent Book
I highly recommend this book, to everyone. I used this book for many years, for myself and my children. I now us it fromThe Fallen Butterfly Project For Grief and Loss support class. It's a great book for Children and Adults. I'm considering order a case to always keep and hand out in my support group.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A Beautiful and Helpful Book
Grief is hard, real hard. Many of us are told how to grieve, expected to get over it, etc., etc.. Books are recommended yet most have way too many words for the newly bereaved. This book looks to be a children's book and it CAN be, however the message is really for adults. Pat and Chuck let us see that how one grieves is a personal thing. Using the metaphor of tear soup, we see that Grandy makes a stronger broth than her husband, and she works to realize that is okay. A friend stops by and tells Grandy how to go about this grief thing. She's ushered to the door. Another friend allows her to be. The illustrations are compelling. Look for the Bassett Hound... He's there for everything. I am a hospital chaplain and have had the honor of being able to give this book to newly bereaved folks. One lady slept with hers, another took it on her trips. I can't rate this book high enough!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Well written and drawn! Sensitive but practical!
To quote a recent widow to whom I gave the book, "I forgot to tell you how much I liked the book! The drawings are wonderful! I think it's well suited to people whose grief isn't 'brand new' but have had time to live a bit of life post-loss. The allegory is sensitively developed." I agree with her about waiting a little while (a few weeks?) before offering the book to the person. Helpful as the information is, they probably need time to process their loss on their own before being given a "how to" book, good as it is. It is far more than a "how to" book, for sure, but at the beginning the person is faced with physical details to take care of beyond the funeral - bank accounts, insurance stuff, and other things that must be done. Giving the person some space before giving them the book is a wise idea, in my estimation. But it definitely is a good resource for anyone dealing with people with any kind of major loss, whether you're just the friend who is helping, or the person going through it. Great Book!!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Tear Soup-How big of a pot do you need for your tears this time?
I regularly gift this to friends and family whom experience a significant loss, and I always have two copies in my therapy office to use with clients and clinical supervisees to that word gets spread. Its recipe on the inside cover is really wonderful. My favorite page is the one with the different sized pots that are labeled to describe the magnitude of the loss. And the "cookbooks" on divorce, moving, a pet's death, etc. It just hits the mark in so many ways. You read it once and you've got the language. I continue to purchase used copies due to this as they tend to find their way back into the river of grief books once used.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Perfect book for healing after a death. Perfect book for understanding and dealing with death and grieving process. The graphics are just perfect!
Perfect book for healing after a death and perfect book for understanding and dealing with death and the grieving process. The graphics are perfect and beautifully done. I got the book after my son was killed in a car accident and Tears gives me some comfort each time I read it. It's very easy to read and short, but you can get lost in the graphic's.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Tear Soup
Best book about personally dealing with grief. It helps you to understand everyone is different and it has to be done your own way. It look like a children's book but it is for all ages just like grief. l got it after my 25 year old son died from cancer and l could not quit crying. l have given out about 10 copies to others that needed it. Deals with ALL types of grief.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
