Welcome or welcome back! (I hope you got to watch my video this week. It made me feel a little more connected.) I’m bringing a potluck of resources today. Feel free to offer your comments. too. +++ People experiencing loss wouldn’t mind a meal. When I was growing up, we had potlucks at church from time to time. Depending on the first letters of your last name, your family brought salad, main, or dessert. “Salad”, of course, was loosely defined, from healthy to dessert with a new name (think Jello with whipped topping folded in). “Main” could be a casserole or could be Kentucky Fried Chicken. “Dessert” could be home-made or a store-bought frozen chocolate cream pie.
Think about the number of people in the family. Right after a loss, extended family may be coming in from various places. So it may help to prepare a larger dish.
If you take food, put a date on it. Sometimes different people are at the house, and knowing which leftovers are oldest helps a lot.
