This poem came out of a dream that caught my attention. It reminds me of the power of being curious that comes from writing as an inquiry.
Organize & Sit Shiva
Just as there's no one way to sit shiva, there's no one way to organize the details. We offer options to make it easier for people to show up for shiva.
A resource by Shiva Circle
Choose the option that works best for you to organize shiva details and invite others to help support the mourners' needs.
Organize in a Spreadsheet: Share a live Google Sheet so people can volunteer to provide meals, attend shiva services and support the mourners’ needs.
Use a Fillable PDF: Download a PDF and organize the shiva details in one place as they’re confirmed. Perfect for that friend or relative organizing shiva on behalf of a mourner.
Our Inspiration
Too often, the logistics of managing shiva are overwhelming. People who come from other faith backgrounds or who have never attended shiva don't know where to start and mourners may have a tough time asking for help. These tools make it easier for mourners, shiva organizers and guests to create a circle of support.

Aging does not have to be an inevitable path from gray to black. It can be the song we sing on this path, and the duet that living and dying are dancing in our lives.
