The process of mourning the death of a loved one is very structured in Judaism. The initial seven day period of mourning starts after the burial of the deceased and is the most intense part of the mourning process. During shiva, the mourners don't have to worry about taking care of themselves, the community takes care of them instead. The mourners don't leave their home for these 7 days and friends and family comfort them.

The overall process of mourning in Judaism is guided by Torah and exists to ensure that an appropriate amount of time is allowed for an adequate amount and expression of grief. From the Jewish perspective, this is necessary for the mental and emotional health of the mourners.
