The Tear Soup Recipe
Helpful ingredients to consider:
- 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
Directions:
Choose the size pot that fits your loss. It’s ok to increase the pot size if you miscalculated. Combine ingredients. Set temperature for a moderate heat. Cooking times will vary depending on the ingredients needed. Strong 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 a starter for next time
- write your own soup making in a journal so you won’t forget
