A Step-by-Step Guide for Honoring the Dead and Empowering the Living

When someone dies, there are so many

questions-from what to do in the moment of grief, to

dealing with the practical details of the funeral, to spiritual

concerns about the meaning of life and death. This

indispensable guide to Jewish mourning and comfort provides

traditional and modern insights into every aspect of loss. In a

new, easy-to-use format, this classic resource is full of wise

advice to help you cope with death and comfort others when they

are bereaved.

Dr. Ron Wolfson takes you step by step

through the mourning process, including the specifics of

funeral preparations, preparing the home and family to sit shiva, and visiting the grave. Special sections deal with helping young children

grieve, mourning the death of an infant or child, and more.

Wolfson captures the poignant stories of

people in all stages of grieving-children, spouses,

parents, rabbis, friends, non-Jews-and provides new

strategies for reinvigorating and transforming the Jewish ways

we mourn, grieve, remember, and carry on with our lives after

the death of a loved one.
