Book Summary
Written from a layperson's point of view, this guide to Jewish bereavement and comfort includes the specifics for funeral preparations and preparing the home and family to sit shiva. Special sections deal with helping young children grieve, mourning the death of an infant or child, and more. With information for mourners and comforters alike, this resource speaks to a large audience, including Jews experiencing a loss, non-Jews whose Jewish friends have experienced a loss, converted Jews who lose a non-Jewish family member, and non-Jewish members of interfaith families in mourning. This book provides answers to the questions that inevitably arise in the face of bereavement, ranging from the practical to the spiritual, and includes references to sacred texts and laws as well as modern, personal accounts of those who have experienced and dealt with loss.
