	MyJewishLearning.com - Lifecycle: The Phases of Jewish Bereavement
		Jewish mourning customs reflect the natural course of grief and recovery following the death of a loved one.
		There are six basic phases of the Jewish bereavement cycle.
		The experience of bereavement is highly individualistic and while the time may move quickly, the resolution of grief often takes months or years.

	Jewish bereavement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Av Harachamim is a Jewish memorial prayer which was written in the late 11th or early 12th Century, after the destruction of the Ashkenazi communities around the Rhine River by Christian crusaders during the First Crusade.
		It is widely observed, and based on the Jewish tradition that mourners are required to commemorate the death of a relative.

	Jewish Hospice Service
		Jewish values imply that a dying person’s family or caregiver should, if they are able, be encouraged and enabled to care for their relative either at home or in an appropriate facility.
		Although the control of pain is at the center of hospice theory and practice, we pay particular attention to addressing the heartache, fear and confusion of dying that often lead to feelings of suffering and anguish.
		The traditional Jewish focus on extending and enhancing life is central to any approach and the Hospice, with its special focus, is often the link between the patient and Judaism, between the family and the synagogue or Jewish community.

	l e a r n @ j t s DID YOU KNOW? Responsa: Converts Mourning the Deaths of Close Relatives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In The Jewish Way in Death and Mourning, Rabbi Lamm notes that there is no obligation for gerim to mourn non-Jewish parents in the "prescribed Jewish manner." While gerim are expected to show respect for their parents, they are religiously removed from them.
		All of this would confuse a person whose Jewish identity was still developing and would diminish the significance of Judaism in the eyes of the ger and his or her Jewish family.
		The fact that I strongly believe in the value of the traditional Jewish way of grieving and in the obligation of every Jew, born or converted, to follow this tradition gave me the moral strength to push her and myself to go the full nine yards.

		The Jewish community is the largest single population served, making up close to 40 percent of the agency's patients, Smerling says-not surprising considering that its service area in north and northwest Cook and Lake counties has the state's largest Jewish population.
		Jewish patients didn't necessarily care if the staff members caring for them were Jewish, but they wanted them "to understand what it means to care for a Jewish patient," Smerling says.
		Benita Cohen, chairperson of the Jewish Hospice Advisory Panel, was involved in the creation of the program and based her ideas for it on the experience she had four years ago when her father, Dr. Willard Kapnick, was diagnosed with a terminal case of lymphoma.

		Jewish scholars and legal authorities over the centuries have resisted any efforts to dichotomize the human being into a body and a soul; the human being is an organic whole.
		Behavior in a Jewish cemetery is governed by two secondary principles that find clear formulation in the sources: the prohibition on levity (kalut rosh) and the prohibition on mocking the dead (lo’eg larash).
		Jewish practice, in full consonance with psychological understanding, insists upon an open and visible grief: for example, the prohibition on comforting initially and the eulogy (one purpose of which was to awaken tears through the fu1ler realization of the depth of the loss).

		The Jewish way of dealing with death is one part of a larger philosophy of life in which all people are viewed with dignity and respect.
		To this end, Jewish funerals avoid ostentation; family and visitors reflect in dress and deportment the solemnity of the occasion; flowers and music are inappropriate, embalming and viewing are avoided; and interment takes place as soon as possible after death.
		Funerary customs are traditionally supervised in Jewish communities by a chevra kaddisha, a holy society, comprised of volunteers to aid the bereaved and to ensure that appropriate practices are followed.
