lasagnaline
/ləˈsænjəˌlaɪn/nounVerified NewThe procession of sympathy meals after a death, which reliably stops after about two weeks — the point where grief stops being an event and becomes a condition.
The community's support has a half-life, and the bereaved can feel it decay. The last lasagna marks the border between mourning and living alone with it.
Etym. — lasagna + line — the queue of casseroles, and the line it stops at.
Rel. — compassionclock
