DH invited widowed friend to ours, is this ok?…

[Boobooduck]

I’ve never met him before but sounds like a nice guy. Lost his DW to cancer about 2 years ago bless him. He isn’t one of DH good friends but they’ve knows each other for years and DH invited him around for lunch - DH can’t cook so the best he could do would be cheese sarnies!

Anyway, I said invite him over on Thursday night and I’ll make homemade lasagna and salad and we can get a couple of bottles of wine incase he wants a drink…

Does that sound ok? Lasagna? If not, what else do you suggest?

TIA

Yes I do. I don’t take any kindness for granted. But I saw first hand how “friends” invitations quickly dry up when you lose a partner, even when you’re young.
It is not just my personal experience. It seemed too common within the grief group we attended.
I thought OP might not be aware of the impact one meal might have and wanted to share some positive thoughts.
