It is still a tradition where I'm from, New England. It's just a natural reaction when a family is in trouble, you make them a casserole or something substantial that keeps for a few days. I did it a few times this year already. It's a way to express love and sympathy in a very practical, nourishing manner. I hope it never goes away.
