Introduction
Grief changes everything—even the way we eat. At Ziva’s Quiet Light counseling sessions, we often hear, “I can’t cook anymore; it reminds me of them.” If your kitchen feels heavy with loss, here’s a gentle roadmap to healing:

1. Honor the Memories

That recipe they loved? Make it. Light a candle. Tell stories. Like David lamenting Jonathan (2 Samuel 1:17-27), God gives space for sorrow and celebration.

2. Start Small

Rebuild your rhythm with simplicity:

• Tea + Toast: A ritual of warmth.
• Meal Kits: Our pre-portioned kits remove decision fatigue.

3. Let Others Nourish You

Accept the casseroles. Sit at others’ tables. Jesus modeled this in John 21:9-12—He cooked for His grieving friends, but also let them feed Him.
