Cant just be me, still buys pretty much as normal,
Still often cook pretty much as normal
Therefore can be eating same meals for days & getting a lot of recycling
Stupid thing is regularly no appetite. Eat when I am hungry, not by the clock
MISS YEARS OF HABIT/ ROUTINE .One of my biggest struggles 
“What time’s dinner??”
“Whats for dinner today?”
Years of routine, planning, shopping together , choosing together. Mostly had meals lusted for the week on calender even well especially whilst children growing up

For some just reading your words will make a difference 
Hello SMDW - I only just saw your post. I think it’s very common for bereaved people to feel the loss of sharing decisions and routines that have been established over the years with your partner. Some people find it comforting to keep to those routines and others not, there is no right or wrong way to grieve or one way to cope. Changes in appetite are very normal and common. It’s ok to eat any time of day or night, the main thing is to eat enough to sustain you. Get by day by day as best you can. Grieving is very hard work and often painful and takes time. You are doing your best and honestly that is good enough. I am certain many others who are grieving would say they too experience the feeling you are going through. Establishing new routines that suit you will take time, you don’t have to rush, give yourself time. You have a lot to come to terms with and you will get there in your own time, when you are ready. Best wishes
