I didn’t plan on blogging on the Jewish tradition of mourning this week.
But, in one short week, several of the people in my orb have been impacted by the sudden death a loved one—a pastor whose father died, a woman whose son was killed in an accident, and a friend who passed away during surgery. All this week.
So, I did some reading on how Jews of the Old Testament and some today manage grief. What I learned is that the Jews view morning as occurring in stages.
