Grief affects all facets of life, including your daily eating habits. Oftentimes, after losing a loved one, family members feel their energy levels decrease. It becomes harder to maintain healthy habits such as eating healthy, balanced meals.
For the first few weeks after a death, families typically receive homecooked meals from loved ones. But what about when the casseroles stop? It’s important to get back into a routine of eating well in order to stay healthy.
Since we understand that in the early stages of grief it’s hard to do everyday tasks, we’ve compiled some healthy and easy meals grieving families can make.
