Tear Soup: A Recipe for Healing After a Loss by PatSchwiebert and Chuck DeKlylen; Illustrated byTayler Bills. The story follows Grandy, an old, wise woman and how she
copes with grief. In the book Grandy
makes a giant pot of tear soup--an analogy to the size of her grief. The book is beautifully illustrated and that
will draw in the younger family members, but the story told is more
sophisticated and palatable for adults.
I have given it to families to share with their children to
help them understand death and grieving and the adults have gained much from
reading it to their children. In additon, bBecause of its ease of reading it is
good for someone in the early stages of grief who is having trouble
concentrating and reading anything lengthy.
