Tear Soup by Chuck Deklyen, Pat Schwiebert (1999, Hardcover, Revised)

This is an excellent book. My husband recently passed and my children have enjoyed this book. My youngest has read it at least five times and she never reads. It is written that people of any age would enjoy it. Pay attention to the illustrations.

This is an excellent book for those with grief. It is well illustrated, contains much helpful information, and provides resources at the back. I use it for those suffering with terminal illness, those who have lost others, those who have losses of various types.

This book is helpful for any age person who is grieving over the loss of a loved one, or other significant loss.

The pictures tell a lot of the story and young children can sense the sadness that is the story in the book. The making of the soup helps them to understand that we must continue to function and help ourselves to live through this rough time in our life.

I purchased it for a friend who was suffering a great loss.

Great book for someone you know who is grieving. Looks a little childish but relates to both male and female of all ages.

This book let you know that grief was a personal thing and there was no certain time for people to grieve. I was good to know that there wasn't a time allowed for grieving.

This is a good way to look at grief and a nice aid in explaining it to children. It does not really take on any religious views, though I wished it did. It just deals with the grieving process itself.

This book can reach such a wide array of people who have suffered any type of grief and or loss. It has good realistic thoughts and ideas and could really be of benefit to anyone and everyone. I highly recommend this as a book that can be read by oneself or to your children or other loved ones. A very nice surprise for such a difficult topic and one I will read again!!

This book is wonderful. After reading it myself, I sent it to a very dear friend who lost a young relative recently. She found this very comforting, and I wouldn't hesitate to send it to anyone who is grieving. It also has a list of support groups at the back. I highly recommend it.

I love the book it is great for anyone who is dealing with a loss in life. I gave it to my aunt who lost her daughter a year ago and it was very appreciated to help her learn about grieving.
