Processing Jewish Mourning - Things Halacha Doesn't Tell You

The purpose of this blog is threefold: 1) Help me process the multitude of emotions and experiences of the shiva week and on. 2) Share some unexpected parts of the mourning process so others in this position can prepare (where there is warning) or find camaraderie (after the fact) in company with others who may have encountered similar experiences. 3) Assist clergy and well wishers in comforting the bereaved. Use the search features and check back frequently. Posts are spread through the year.
