Tear Soup, A Recipe for Healing After Loss - by Pat Schwiebert and Chuck Deklyen illustrated by Taylor Bills

作者是位護士,她與她的兒子合作寫出這本治療悲傷的書,當人失去至親時有許多來自內心深層的哀痛,是必須治療與安慰撫平的,但是並不是每人都能得到適當的安慰,也許親友太過關心變成負擔,或是不適合的語言造成二度傷害,所以這位歷經生老病死的護士提供這樣的管道,幫助紓解,讓往生者教我們如何活,我們讓離去的人安心去。

Recipe:
a pot full of tears
one heart willing to be broken open
a dash of bitters
a bunch of good friends
many handfuls of comfort food
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: one good therapist and/ or support group

其實不管是如何心痛的事,這樣的“食譜“都能發揮功用,當然,也必須自我提醒、自我保重。
