I have had no appetite at all since my sister died suddenly and tragically 2 months ago. I have found making a big pot of soup at the beginning of the week very helpful. It's something easy and healthy to grab, and it's comfort food. Making the soup takes a little effort, but it's worth doing for me, just once a week.
My person used to cajole me into eating better, and was the only one in this world who ever could: so he is often on my mind as I feed myself. It's a nice way to be connected, even if I don't always make the best choices.
Very encouraging vid. When I make a list of my "daily non-negotiables" one line item is "never take care of business issues on the phone or in person without eating some protien first" as CRANKY comes out of my mouth with rabid impatience. LOVE this morning encouragement sweet Megan!! I appreciate you!😊❤ granny ang
Actually, I eat too much..for comfort. Eating, reading and RUclips are what keep me sane. I've gained 10 pounds since I lost my son, but much of my exercise was from looking after his needs. I feel somewhat guilty because I can eat and haven't lost weight instead of gaining. He was mentally ill and the centre of my life for decades. I miss him constantly...
I love this, Megan. So important but often overlooked. I've always been a skinny bird ( small but perfectly formed , according to the love of my life, my best friend ) 2 months after he died, I weighed 75lbs. I just could not swallow food. If you feel like this anything that you can manage is better than nothing. A glass of milk, a piece of toast, anything really, little and often and keep hydrated and take vitamins. It WILL get better. Love and hugs to you all from Laura. ( Canary islands) ❤
Bone broth is helping me a lot since my husband died 10 months ago. I eat junk pretty much all the time and I don’t eat enough because of grief and because of my emetophobia (which is much more severe since he died).
👍con el duelo yo perdí el sabor de la vida...ahora, un año y medio después, busco un nuevo significado y está en proceso...a qué me sabe la vida ahora? Gracias, Megan
I have had a very difficult time eating since my husband died last year...dinner is by far the worst meal for me. I find that food does not taste the same. I will make the same things I have always made and for whatever reason they taste different...
Megan first you look very beautiful .megan I lost my husband 8 months ago we have 4 kids he got killed for no reason front o my kids and I over nothing for no reason in our apartment building my life is destroyed and got stolen from me and my kids I keep blaming my self because I didn’t move from that building 1/5 prior to that incident my husband was telling me to move but I waited and this tragic incident happened exactly 1 month before we were finally were able to move I blame my self my kids and some times my husband because this incident happened over parking spot if my husband didn’t come right at that moment my kids were dead too he protect them and I keep blaming my kids to because they should have not wait for those people to move their car from our parking I don’t know there is a fight in my head every day it’s hard to move forward 💔🖤
I know it's easier said than done, but please don't blame your husband, children, OR yourself. None of you KNEW that would or could happen to your husband! I lost my oldest son to events outside of my control and still blame myself for not being there. My life feels ruined. But, no matter how they died, it must be our fault somehow, right? No, this is just us trying to make sense of it, which we never will. His tragic death is still very new for you, as well. But, you couldn't have known, your children couldn't have known or your husband. I'm so, so sorry for your loss. 😢🫂

What a beautiful way to connect with your person.
Thank you Megan. Your videos and specially your book have been my biggest support in my grief the last two years. Thank you ❤
I'm very glad you find the book and my videos helpful.
Thank you for this one. Food has been really difficult for me, and your words are a nice reminder that it’s ok 🙏🏼❤️🩹
