The Jewish traditions that surround death and bereavement create a space and time where grief is given its due and healing can begin. With the knowledge, sensitivity, and clarity that have made her one of the most admired writers of guides to Jewish life, Anita Diamant explains how to make Judaism's time-honored rituals into personal, meaningful sources of comfort. Diamant explains the wisdom encoded in the ancient prayer of Kaddish -- providing Contemporay alternatives as well as traditional versions -- and guides the reader through Jewish practices that attend the end of life, from the sick room to the funeral. She walks us through a Jewish year of mourning, giving detailed instructions for the rituals of Shiva, Yizkor, and Yahrzeit, while paying careful attention to the emotional toll of loss and bereavement. Saying Kaddish also covers special losses, such as the death of a child, neonatal loss, suicide, and the death of non-Jewish loved ones. Comprehensive, insightful, and wise, Saying Kaddish provides indispensable guidance and solace from the wisdom of a caring tradition.
