In the movies, when a spouse dies, everyone brings food to the bereaved. Pure fiction. The primary reason I have to get some form of transport in my house is so I can get food. The Wife always made sure we were fed. And she made great vegetarian meals for me.

I have eaten few decent meals since The Wife passed. It's aggravating my CHF and every day around 3pm I am so hungry. Were it not for The Wife's bestie who makes sure the cats & I get fed every day,we wouldn't have survived. But she is not a cook. The Wife was a terrific cook.

Don't say "whatever you need" unless you mean that. It's a thing people say to say something, but it's not helpful if you don't follow through. Some friends of The Wife, a couple we used to spend time with, sent me soup, bread and cookies from this comfort food place. Perfect.

I'd add that if you have a disability, you have to make requests of your friends, family, colleagues. You can't presume folks will know you are struggling. Conversely,folks in your family and friend circles should know what your circumstances are. I've been paralyzed for 7yrs.
