Ritualistically speaking, food has a strong affect on the healing process and grief. Through food we develop and maintain ties to each other. Delivering food is a way to provide support to a family who has suffered a loss.
To show their love and support families turn to preferred dishes, such as: casseroles, baked hams, and trays of lasagna, cookies, cakes and pies. Given the importance of food and the family history it can provide, it often becomes a major part of the memorial and healing process.
The choice of food sent means, “You are missed”. The choice of food served at the service says, “You are family”, and the food stored in the freezer to be eaten at a later time says, “You are in our thoughts.”
