[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 283241, member: 1233"] I am so sorry. This is a shame. Please don't feel it is only cooking. It is an easy, nourishing home cooked meal that can be ready anytime. It is a wonderful gift and hopefully will help them through this. If you can remember, taking a casserole over in 2-3 weeks may be a huge benefit. They can't be "up" to handling too much at that point. The initial rush of condolences as faded, and the family is still in crisis. Ihave done this many times. Last year 2 of husband's coworkers lost a close family member with-in a week of each other. Of course we sent cards, but I sent in a frozen homemade lasagna in a disposable container to them each the day after they returned to work. One of the women just cried when husband gave it to her. The night before had been very difficult - cooking after a full day at work while grieving is a huge strain. So that is what I do now. I put the dya I want to send in food on my calendar. It really makes it so I don't forget. I am so sorry for your loss. I know it is a crushing blow to all who knew him. [/QUOTE]
