The book surfaces it. The journal is where you put it.
218 pages of prompts and space, written for this book.
Faith is named in these pages.
Morgan writes from it rather than around it. For most readers that is the reason it lands.
I cried through it but loved this book!
This book has impacted my life in one of my most difficult moments.
Some feelings sit for years without a name. You know the shape of them, and still cannot put them into a sentence anyone would understand.
These pages go looking for those sentences. Written in the season it describes, one page at a time, with no rush toward feeling better.
Get this one for the nightstand, not the shelf
Three movements, in order. The Roots, where you name what actually happened. Pruning to Peace, where you decide what stays. Bloom Boldly, where you begin again. 167 pages, most pieces under a page.
Faith is present in these pages and God is named. Morgan writes from her faith rather than around it. If that is not what you want right now, this may not be your book, and that is fair to know before you buy.
It is also not a programme. There are no steps. If you want structure to work through, the guided journal is the piece that does that.
Paperback, 167 pages. 5.5 x 0.42 x 8.5 inches. ISBN-13 979-8985731101. Published March 22, 2022 by Oak Agencies.

Not because they do not matter or because you should be over them by now. But because sometimes, you can feel the weight of what you have been through long before you know how to explain it.
You kept going, showed up, and prayed about it. You did what you had to do, but somewhere underneath all of that is something you have never fully had the words to name, process, or release.
This book helps you find those words.
Language for what you carry, and a place to set it down.
Find language for emotions and experiences that can be difficult to explain.
Reflect on what you have lived through without minimizing what it cost you.
Read the words you may have needed when you could not find them for yourself.
Turn what surfaces while reading into deeper personal reflection.
Thoughtful questions help you explore your emotions, experiences, and what they mean to you.
Use the journal to process what resonates and put your own experiences into words.
The kind that shows up in quiet moments. The kind you cannot explain to anyone else, because the words have never existed.
You kept going and stayed strong, but somewhere inside there are things still waiting to be felt, named and released.
You believe in healing and pray for it, but belief and breakthrough are not always the same thing. These words meet you in the gap.
The pain. The version of yourself you outgrew. The patterns you keep repeating. This book gives you the words and the grace.
You are not looking for a five-step plan. You are looking for someone who gets it, and says the thing you have been feeling but could not say.
Readers routinely order a second copy before finishing their own, for a daughter, a sister, or a friend in the middle of something.
Real pages, real photographs, nothing staged for the listing.
Until you lose your peace, you do not truly embrace and understand the importance of protecting it.
Even good people find themselves in bad struggles, seasons, and situations. It is not because they are horrible but because they are human.
With each tears that crossed my face, the person I once was slowly washed away.
Naming what actually happened, without softening it. Most people skip this and wonder why nothing shifts.
Deciding what stays. Mindsets, relationships and rooms that were right for a season that has ended.
Beginning again as who you actually are now, rather than who you were before it happened.
Faith is an important part of this book. Morgan openly shares her relationship with God and the role faith has played in healing and growth. Readers will find encouragement rooted in faith throughout these pages, alongside honest reflections on emotions and experiences many of us share.
A blend of poetry, prose, and short reflections on healing, growth, love, loss, and letting go. Each piece can be read on its own, making this a book to move through at your own pace or return to whenever you need it.
Yes. There’s no pressure to read this book from beginning to end in one sitting. Each reflection stands on its own, so you can take in a few pages at a time and return whenever you need the words.
The book explores difficult emotions honestly, but it was written to bring comfort, clarity, and hope through them. Some pages may feel deeply personal, while others offer the reassurance and perspective you may need. Take your time and read what feels right for you.
Yes. The Tears That Taught Me is often gifted to someone navigating heartbreak, loss, change, or a difficult season. It’s a meaningful way to remind someone you care about that they are not alone in what they’re feeling.

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 528 reviews.
I’m not a reader but got this book and couldn’t out it down. I was struggling with helping past partner get back on his feet after being really ill as a friend. It helped me a lot. I’m still helping but going on living a healthier life. I love this book. Thanks !!
This book has helped me in more ways than one. I ordered the rest of her books. Can’t wait to dive in on this journey of healing❤️🩹
I’m going through a 6+ year breakup with the girl of my dreams. We both had issues with navigating the tuff conversations. I was pretty devastated that she wanted out, and didn’t want to try to repair what we deemed to be having issues with. Your book provided me with some great insights. Thank you!

Was a wonderful book looking forward to the next book.
Very insightful, an easy read. I did recognize myself within the pages. I would also recommend this book to others.
I read this book as soon as I got it from front to back. Very insightful! Love it.
This book spoke right to my heart. Not one page that I couldn’t relate to.
Great book. Very inspiring. Will be passing it on to a friend when I'm done read it.
Loved it so much gave it to a friend who had lost her daughter. Hoping it would help a little.
I could so relate to the book " The tears that taught me. " So much of myself was in this book. It's almost as if it was talking directly to me. I don't feel so alone now!
I read this in one night. I chuckled to myself many times and said amen! It’s a tough road but books like this help give hope that we can heal positively and break some chains!
The book helped me through some difficult situations from my past and my current life
Wonderful read I felt like you were talking to me. Thank you
Loves this book!
I enjoyed each page I felt very connected. Very helpful thank you
Amazing book! I related so much as if I had wrote it myself. It’s crazy to me that we go through life differently but have similar experiences!
The tears that taught me is a game changer, if you find yourself struggling be it with a friend, family member, spouse, colleague, co-worker, or with yourself in terms of issues from your present or past, and you need help from someone who has been there and done that. Well then, let me tell you that this book is for you, it will help and teach you from lessons learned from the authors past experiences, that will help you make better choices and decisions, as well as help you in recognizing when you are being emotionally played and manipulated. The tears that taught me will not disappoint, with every page you will find yourself mesmerized by the author’s authenticity, and unique style and ability to relate to all that you might be experiencing in your own life. As the author says in the book, “With each tear that crossed my face, the person I once was slowly washed away” I’ll say no more, purchase this book, and find out for yourself what a remarkable work of literature you will have at your disposal!!
Enjoyed this book very much. I felt as if it was written for me❣️absolutely breathtaking and healing.
I have been struggling to create better and meaningful relationships with family for years. The more I tried something with them the worse I began to feel about myself, no reciprocity with family whatsoever. I came across this insightful text by Morgan several weeks ago, and the more I read the pages, the more I began to relate to the messages inside. I began to realize that many of my family members are emotionally 'Bankrupt' and that their desire to create and develop better relationships is simply out of my control . . . I carry this text with me when traveling as it provides me with the inspiration needed to love oneself, no matter the consequences. I have sent a copy to a sibling who struggles with family like I do . . . and each thoughtful messages within teaches a person to rise up when things feel as if they are collapsing inside. Thank you
Great book it really hit home thanks for sharing Kim Burthlong so on point!
This book is exactly what I needed! I've read it twice now and I'm sure I will be picking it up again when I need some reassurance. Definitely a must have! Ordering more of her books immediately ❤️
Quick read which is great because i never have time as a single mama. Plus i have a hard time completing books because im busy and get distracted with kids, work, well life. I love how the author incorporates God! I am all about getting more enthralled wirh my walk and faith with Jesus in my healing journey! I love the steps and thoughts in this book like your going through a healing journey! I will read again!!
Great book!
I absolutely love this book. This is the first book that i have read in one setting
This reading has impacted my life in one of my most difficult moments. It has made me examine what areas of my life I should work on. It shows me that the perspectives of others about me do not have to be proven by me. That letting go doesn't make you a bad person and it's okay to reevaluate your circumstances. And more important that pain is a rebirth into a new self, loving and respecting each process.
I absolutely loved this book! It resonated with me the entire time! It made me laugh, smile, cry and heal all at the same time!! The words made me forget the pain and start healing within….. hurt that I have held onto for years! Can’t wait to get another one of Morgan’s books!!🙂
I’m going through a divorce of a 39 year marriage. Being hard to do is the least to say The tears that taught me have taught me that I can make it and I don’t have to worry about anything I can count on myself and God
This book was so right on ,my feelings were in print I could not put my heart into words like this book did
It truly is a wonderful book. Healing in such a beautiful way
This book is a page-turner! Add this to your read list. You will not regret it. My advice would be to read it when you are in a great head space. Find time to take notes as well. You will not regret this purchase.
I read this book in a day. I am now going back, rereading and writing notes. This is helping with situations I am dealing with in my life. Highly recommend!
Such a great book! Highly recommend!
I am gobsmacked at how relevant everything in this book is to my life. However this made me realize that in order to write with such depth, the author had to live through such pain. I felt heard.
This book was everything I needed. I recommend it to all my friends and family
This book came to me at the best time. I absolutely needed to see this and feel all my emotions through reading this book. I will be sharing with my son and other family members. Keep up the amazing writing.
Absolutely love it!! Read the whole book in a day. Started reading again!
Time! A few moments with anyone in need, does both of you good.
I love this book! It is currently helping me through one of the hardest times of my life.
Veryy insightful book that gets to the heart of creating calm inner peace in the craziness of this world and those that try to make their issues affect your inner peace.
