I'm just there.
In any way needed.
But sometimes just being around a hurting person helps them.

@SW-User In a Jewish funeral, it's called "Sitting Shiva", just "being there" without feeling that we need to be entertained or entertained. Just a heart with ears. Just being there...you are SO right.

@MsAlaineEYes I like that! I'm also surprised with the name Shiva used in a Jewish tradition.

@SW-UserI have done this; they also cover the mirrors, it is not a time for vanity. It keeps the atmosphere and vibration focused on the soul of the departed and their journey...Got from the web for you. The ritual is referred to as " sitting shiva " in English. The shiva period lasts for seven days following the burial. Following the initial period of despair and lamentation immediately after the death, shiva embraces a time when individuals discuss their loss and accept the comfort of others.
