“I’ve learned that grief, like a pot of soup, changes the longer it simmers
and the more things you put into it.”

Tear Soup gives you a glimpse into the life of a woman who suffers a severe loss. She grieves by blending different ingredients into her own version of tear soup to bring her comfort and ultimately help to fill the void in her life that was created by her loss.
Following the story of making tear soup, the book offers tips to use in dealing with grief:
If you are the cook
If your friend is the cook
Soup making and time
If a child is the cook
If you are a male chef
If there are two of you cooking
The book is richly illustrated (by Taylor Bills) and is only 45 pages long. It is suitable for all ages, including children. Look for this book in our church library.
