Tear
Soup
A Recipe for Healing after
Loss
Text by Pat Schwiebert, Text by Chuck DeKlyen,
Illustrated by Taylor Bills
In this modern-day fable, a woman who has suffered a terrible loss cooks up
a special batch of “tear soup,” blending the unique ingredients of her life
into the grief process. Along the way she dispenses a recipe of sound advice
for people who are in mourning or know someone who has suffered a loss. The
book is richly illustrated with poignant and detailed pictures.
This book presents a profound message in a sublime way for children, as well
as people of all ages. An appendix in the book contains a helpful listing of
grief support groups for a variety of situations. Grief counselors and
ministers of many denominations have found Tear Soup a helpful book for
those in the first stages of mourning.

Gift of the Red Bird
by Paula D'Arcy
Paula D'Arcy's serene voice powerfully underscores the message of her
inspirational true story. As she describes the tragic loss of her husband
and child, her painful emotions are real and raw. While still grieving, she
must prepare for a new life with her unborn daughter. The author depicts her
struggle to find peace with genuine feeling, as she takes the reader through
her depression and her failed attempts and ultimate success in gaining
spiritual renewal. D'Arcy recounts her experiences, sometimes frightening
and dangerous, in an expressive voice that blends her sorrowful remembrances
with a steadfast hope of achieving new wholeness. J.J.B. © AudioFile 2006,
Portland, MaineIn
Song for Sarah (1979), D'Arcy captured the primal pain of loss, and,
since its publication, she has become a popular lecturer and workshop leader
in the burgeoning field of grief counseling. Grief, she shows us in this new
book, is an ongoing, never-completed process, one that becomes woven into
the fabric of the grieving person's spiritual life. Now in midlife, D'Arcy
realized that she must move yet further on her journey toward trusting the
divine plan. A three-day solitary wilderness trip tested that faith,
especially when a massive storm tore through her canyon home. But a red bird
that miraculously survived the storm taught her to laud the tiny miracles of
our earthly lives. 144 pages,

then introduce us to stories from abuse survivors, including the
inspiring story of one of the counselors and how she herself
survived clerical sexual abuse. We learn that hope for healing comes
only by frank and open discussion of how priests broke the trust
they'd been given. Hardcover (Item #87888)
