Friday Funeral Fact: Food has long played a role in mourning across cultures because sharing a meal offers comfort when words fall short. Whether it’s a formal gathering or a simple dish brought by a neighbor, food creates connection, routine, and care during times of loss—reminding people they are not alone as they grieve.

Grief doesn’t always look like tears or visible sadness. For many people, it shows up as deep exhaustion—mental, emotional, and physical. Grieving requires constant adjustment, decision-making, and emotional processing, all of which can drain energy in ways people don’t expect.

If you or someone you love feels unusually tired after a loss, it’s not a sign of weakness—it’s a natural response to carrying a heavy emotional load. Rest, patience, and compassion are often just as important as words during this time.
