I'm not Jewish. And I'm going to a Shiva.

Hey guys, our friend is Jewish and her Mom(?) died. My wife and I are going to the Shiva. Anything I should be prepared for? Thanks!

It is a house of mourning. You are going there to help the family deal with their grief. There may be food, Jews tend to eat on various occasions, Shiva is one. It is sort of expected that you will eat something. Most often we bring ng some sweets or something to add to the food. We do not believe ng flowers. At around sundown there may be a short service of mourning.
Well explained @samueltyler2
