[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are part of a meal train as well. I think it’s important to help and assist the surviving spouse and children. I do wonder if they will get bored of food just showing up at their house. They might have cravings for one night or maybe they want to go out to eat but feel bound to stay at home? I’ll leave that up to them and will make dinners as long as they are not cancelled.

For the very long meal trains I also wonder if it has to do with the surviving spouse being the husband or wife. (surviving wives get shorter meal trains than surviving husbands)[/quote]

Our neighbor’s husband passed away unexpectedly. They had children. The family was active in their church, neighborhood, school, and were both local. There were tons of people who wanted to support them so the meal train went on for months. It was always for everyone other day, which I think reduces waste and gives them a chance to choose what they eat. The person who did the sign up also included some preferences, to help avoid lasagnas every day. I am sure food was thrown out but also, I imagine there were days when they ate what was there just to not have to figure it out. And she saw how many people cared for her family. [/quote]
