A Mourning Meal

Have you ever given or received a sympathy meal after a death in the family? In the face of grief, these meals can be much more than sustenance, much more than delicious. As manifestations of God’s love, they are avenues for healing. Baked deep into their savory sauces and sweet, yeasty centers is an earnest love that holds for those in mourning a much-needed reminder: we are not alone in our grief.
