The Jewish mourning process is a voyage through pain, brokenness,
comfort, resilience, acceptance, and even gratitude. The
Year of Mourning: A Jewish Journey offers an expansive array
of resources-stories, songs, study texts, poetry, and prayers-to
lovingly and patiently guide the bereaved through the first year
after their loss. Each week the mourner is encouraged to focus on
a particular theme to deepen their Kaddish practice. The book also
includes new rituals for shivah, sh'loshim, unveiling, and yahrzeit.
The Year of Mourning helps support individuals to regain their
grounding after loss and, through the richness of Jewish tradition,
deepen their connections to memories of loved ones and to others
in the community who are walking a similar path.
