Does everyone bring food when someone dies?

Had had to answer this question. I come from the West coast, and yes, normally people bring lots of food. When my dad died young , so many people felt sorry ( I guess???) for me and my brothers, we were 18-25, and there was so much food alot went to waste. BUT, yes, it was appreciated. Now fast forward to 2007. Its not the YEAR that is in question, it is the WHY, or perhaps the terms of death that I remain so , so upset about I literally moved to another state. Im so upset I need a snoke...brb to finish.....aaarrrggghhhhh. Ok, so my 15 year old son killed himself, I am left with 4 other children and my husband. I couldnt even THINK about food! I dont know what my kids ate I was in such shock. When your child commits suicide, you find out real quick the friends and family you dont have. I can maybe understand that no one knew what to say to me, but I dont understand why they didnt attend his service, and in your questions case, why didnt anyone bring food? It would have been SO SO welcome! Heck, it STILL would! I still cant eat well! But my kids need to eat. Even if they didnt want to face me, they could have had some pizza delivered so my family could eat!

Well, there is my public service announcement for today.

i live in the north (ohio for most of my life and penn for the past 2 years) and food is always customary to give when someone dies.

They do it everywhere, it helps those who are too grief stricken to cook or even think about food.

I am from Canada (Toronto) and we do this as well. When there is a serious accident (ex.car accident) or illness we would also help out.
