The Mourning Meeting: Season 2, Episode 11

Your Relationship with Food when you are Grieving

Grieving college students often need comfort. Away from home and familial support systems, food can become that support for some. And for others, food feels like too much work when energy and motivation are low. In this episode, we explore the ways that food can comfort us when we are grieving, and also the ways that food can help with some grief symptoms like sleepiness, memory loss and lack of focus. We also explore ways to engage with food when we don't feel the motivation to eat.
