Tear cups- A great sympathy gift! Giving a Tear Cup package to those who have lost a loved one provides a sense of care and acknowledgement of the loss. It is a tangible object that they will always have to remind them of their loved one. It is a symbolic gesture of their love and their grief.
The little booklet speaks of the benefits of tears, history of tear collecting, and a story about a young child wanting to give a tear cup to their friend because his cat has died.
The package comes with the booklet, a tear cup attached, and is enclosed in an organza gift bag.
Inside the booklet:
- The different kinds of tears
- The benefit of tears and grieving
- The fascinating story and history of ‘tear collecting’
I love the little tear cups and booklet. They work so much better for me because they provide hope and purpose to the tears that are shed. A small gift that is so meaningful and heartfelt, especially after loss. There are some special instances where I will appreciate having the little booklet to give. For me, there are two significant losses where it so difficult to know what to say. One is when someone suffers a miscarriage and secondly someone loses a pet. Often a miscarriage goes without ceremony or acknowledgement and I think this is the perfect way to express heartfelt and easy. — Trish, Grief Coach
The Tear Cup was given to me by Rayne at a Women’s network event. I carried that beautiful cup and book in my purse and one day a very distraught and saddened woman poured her heart out to me. I suddenly remembered the Tear Cup in my purse and with a hug and a wipe of her tear, I presented her with the gift of Rayne’s Tear Cup! She stopped her tears for a moment and looked genuinely touched – held the cup to her heart and whispered “Thank you”. Thanks Rayne for giving that moment of hope.
Hugs, Brynda
