  It sounds like there's a bit more than just eating more lately because you are cooking and at home more. Maybe this stressful event in your family and the difficult emotional state you must be in, is causing you to be in a more depressed or stressed mood, and eating sweets is your escape. I think you should first realize that, and next you can decide you're stoping with the compensation eating habbit. Try and find something else to do to distract you, like watching T.V or listening to music, taking a walk outside, etc. If you feel hungry eat proper meals and small healthy snacks in between. Eat what you cook with everyone else during meal time and not while you're cooking.. Hope you manage to handle it all at once.

  First of all, my sincere consolations. It’s totally OK to think about yourself, even in a time like this. You don’t need to feel guilty for these feelings, and maybe these guilt feelings are what makes you eat more. You’re a wonderful person- not a cynical egoist. Don’t be harsh on yourself too much.
  Take care!

  Sometimes our hunger isn’t physical but emotional- we eat to avoid dealing with our feelings. It’s natural and many people act this way. Maybe you can talk to someone about your feelings, and when you’ll feel better about them, you’ll feel less urge to run away by eating.
