Tear Soup: a Recipe for healing after a loss. By Pat Schwiebert & Chuck DeKlyen
Helpful Ingredients to Consider:
°A pot full of tears
°A broken heart willing to be broken open
°A dash of bitters
°A bunch of good friends
°Many handfuls of comfort foods
°A lot of patience
°Buckets of water to replace the tears
°Plenty of exercise
°A variety of helpful reading material
°Enough self care
°Season with memories
°Optional; a good therapist and/or support group
Directions:
Choose the success pot that fits your grief. It's OK to increase the pot size if you miscalculate. Combine ingredients. Set temperature for a moderate heat. Cooking times will vary depending on the ingredients needed. String flavors mellow over time. Stir often. Cook no longer than you need to.
Suggestions:
•Be creative
•Trust your instincts
•Cry when you want to, laugh when you can
•Freeze some to use as starter the next time
•Write your own soup making in a journal so you won't forget
yes connie I do believe it is him, I just wish he would come in to talk to me, the medium, I saw told me it was shawn. I just so bad need him to come to my dreams, I love and miss him so.
anne - it must be so beautiful to hold those babies in your arms.
What a a funny story Teresa. At least we have our precious memories. I too think of the crazy, fun things my Daniel did when life seemed full and promising. He also was a dare devil and would try just about anything. He was fearless. It is so heartbreaking to get to those last memories of his life here. I hope someday when we are together again he will tell me wonderful tales of all the adventures he is having now.... Kim , the knocking on the door may be your son letting you know that he is still with you. Signs come in all kinds of ways. so sorry for all of this horrible pain we all have to endure. Peace to everyone.
I cryed all night, like I do everynight. at midnight I heard someone knocking on the door, I have been hearing it a lot, I ran to the door and no ones there.just got back from seeing him, god I hurt so bad,i want so much to go see him, to hold him again. still trying to remember the good times, my head just keeps going back to the last. just to much pain, unbearable heart break.
I hope all is well with everyone. I think about Michael from day one to his last day. I laugh as I think of his silly moments. I just miss him so much. I wish there were new stories to tell.
Michael was such a little dare devil. He was all but maybe three when he would put on his army outfit, his GI Joe winter gloves, his football helmet and starting at the top of the block he would try to gain as much speed as he could just to crash into the stone wall at the end of the block. He thought it was fun. Even after he scrapped the top layer of skin off his nose I couldn't keep him from doing it.
Today before I went to work I watched the movie 8 seconds. I did ok till they carried out his casket. I cried so hard I had to change my tear soaked shirt. I went to work, and held a beautiful tiny 5 week old baby girl in my arms, and I cried. That little child reminded me that life goes on whether we like it or not. I can't hold my own boys anymore, but I am grateful that I have these tiny little reminders to bring joy to my broken heart.
Beautiful - thanks for sharing Dolly
