A modern-day fable, told in a richly illustrated children's book format. Tear Soup, a recipe for healing after loss, centers around an old and somewhat wise woman, Grandy. Grandy has just suffered a big loss in her life and so she is headed to the kitchen to make a special batch of Tear Soup. There she chooses the size pot that is right for her loss, and she puts on her apron because she knows it's going to be messy. Slowly the pot is filled with tears as the old woman steeps away. To season her soup Grandy adds memories like the good times and the bad times, the silly and the sad times. She does not want to forget even one precious memory of her loss.

"This book was read out loud to us by a counselor during a group womens therapy session I attended. And everyone in the room was completely enraptured by it. It is a childrens book but covered the topic of grief and the grieving process so beautifully and in an easily digestible way that it can be enjoyed(and I believe should be read) by people of all ages and backgrounds. 10/10 would recommend. #grief #grieving #copingskills #lifelessons #mustread "
