Mourning is in the simplest sense synonymous with grief over the death of a friend or relative.The word is also used to describe a cultural complex of behaviours that the bereaved participate in, or are expected to participate in. In the Western world, these behaviours took their most extreme forms in England during the reign of Queen Victoria.
Victoria herself may have had much to do with the practice, due to her long and conspicuous grief over the death of her husband, Prince Albert. Women bore the greatest burden of these customs. They involved wearing heavy, concealing, black clothing, and the use of heavy veils of black crêpe. The entire ensemble was colloquially known as widow's weeds.
Special caps and bonnets, usually in black or other dark colours, went with these clothings. There was even special mourning jewelry, often made of jet. The wealthy could also wear cameos or lockets designed to hold a lock of hair or some similar relic of the deceased.
Widows were expected to wear special clothes to indicate that they were in mourning for up to four years after the death. To remove the costume earlier was thought disrespectful to the decedent, and if the widow was still young and attractive, sexually promiscuous. Those subject to the rules were slowly allowed to re-introduce conventional clothing at different time periods; stages were known by such terms as "full mourning", "half mourning", and similar terms.
What was a voluntary statement of an attitude of deep grief on the part of the Queen became an officious and oppressive etiquette. Men were much less burdened by all of this than women were. Men were expected to dress in dark colours for up to a year after a death in the family.
Mourning clothes of the sort our grandmothers rejected have currently staged a minor comeback and are popular items of vintage clothing.

Judaism has three distinct periods of mourning for a lost relative. These periods of formal mourning are only required if one has lost a parent, child, sibling, or spouse. Mourning for those outside of these close relations is permitted, but is not governed by set rules.Shiva is the first mourning period, seven days long, which begins on the day of the funeral. Shivah ends on the morning of the seventh day following the morning prayer services. If one of the three Biblical festivals (Shavuot, Passover, Sukkot) interrupt Shivah, the shivah period is terminated early.
Traditional prohibitions during this period include:
The second mourning period is close to a month long, and is known as the shloshim (Hebrew, literally "thirty"). It last from the end of shiva to the morning of the 30th day after burial. Most of the restrictions of the shivah period are lifted. Restrictions still in effect include:
- No sitting on comfortable chairs. Instead, one sits on a stool or box.
- No shaving or combing hair.
- No showering on a daily basis for comfort or custom; it is permissible to wash for cleanliness.
- No use of cosmetics.
- No sexual relations.
- One covers all the mirrors in the home that shiva is being observed in.
- Mourners do not wear shoes made of leather.
- No attending parties.
- No listening to music.
- One may not get married.
- The mourner tears one's own garment upon beginning the shivah period.
- No regular study of Torah, which normally is considered a joyous activity. The exception is that one can study sections dealing with mourning, such as Job, Lamentations, and Jeremiah.
If anyone other than one's mother or father has died, at the end of the shloshim the formal mourning period has ended. If one's mother or father has died, a third level of mourning known as the avelut (Hebrew, literally "mourning") takes place. This lasts until the end of 12 months (by the Hebrew calendar) after the day of death. Joyous events are avoided during this year. The kaddish prayer is said by children for their deceased parent for the first 11 months of this year.
- No attending parties.
- No marriages.
- No shaving or cutting hair.
Judaism has a wide range of beliefs, rituals and practices that relate to comforting mourners. Details about them may be found in the books cited below.
