With deepest sympathies, Jo.
My condolences and.. if there's anything I can do to help or if you need someone else to speak to, just well..
I'll be in touch. But I hope you're all right..
I'm still trying to sort out what is tradition vs what is jewish law but airing on the side of caution and treating traditions as laws until I know for sure. Whichever it is it says to not be involved with business, or pleasure or entertainment for the week following burial. Basically nothing but mourning in that time. I'm still here checking fa but I can only really read and answer things regarding my dad or the concept of mourning until either that time passes or a rabbi or someone else I trust knows jewish law well enough to answers says otherwise. After that theres a month or year I may have other restrictions for but I'll be able to have other conversations and work and do other things.
Until then if messages are related I will be answering if they are not I'll be storing them away for when I can.
I'll follow-up with you on notes. *Hugs* I am quite sorrowful for your loss and for not having reached out to you sooner, Saphy.
And I understand you werent on and didnt know
