Grief and appetite

Grief often steals appetite, not from mere sadness but because your digestive system mirrors your emotional state—when you are in shock or despair, your body pulls resources away from digestion. Nourishing yourself during grief becomes an act of self-respect and survival, even when food tastes like nothing.
