Hey Reddit, what's the saddest food to eat alone?

My brother killed himself and a couple weeks later, all the friends and relatives who had come around were gone. I was alone in the apartment we had shared. Since he died, I hadn't bought any food because I couldn't get myself to do much of anything and besides that, I was pretty broke. I was running out of normal food and on a whim, decided to make a cake. I baked a two layer cake, waited for it to cool, frosted it and began to eat it. Halfway through, I have a crushing realization that not only am I miserable and stuffing my face with cake instead of eating real food, but the cake mix I had used was, in fact, one that I had bought to make for my brother's birthday party which would have been the weekend after he had killed himself. I was alone in my apartment, broke, miserable and eating my dead brother's birthday cake.
