Excellent approach to grieving for families
Tear soup is a wonderfully illustrated children's book for adults written about how we each individually grieve loss in our lives. The story is about "Grandy," but she could just as easily be me or you, and Grandy has suffered a loss, so Grandy begins to make tear soup. Tear soup cannot be made just out of a can, but is an individual process, as unique as each chef; and only through the soup making can we fully heal and move on.
The full page illustrations through which the text of the story run show an even richer tale of the other people and pets in Grandy's life who interact with her recipe and add a powerful depth to an already touching story which you can't help but relate to your own life.

Very Healing!
I discovered this book at a Conference on a subject far removed from the grieving process. This book has been very helpful to me and my family in recovering from the very sudden death of my mother. I would recommend it to anyone (in fact, recommended it to the local funeral director). I found it to be true to the grieving process. Not only are the illustrations wonderful, but the description of loss and grief is right on target.

Helping Through
My counselor recommended this book to me after the loss of my son. As I cried my way through the book, I found validation for my feelings and thoughts. It was very helpful to me and it is also a good source for friends who want to know how to help people dealing with similar losses. I am buying a copy to donate to my local library. Similar Products
