We're not supposed to do overt public mourning on Shabbat. So after landing in Israel and getting home and sitting a couple of hours and being comforted by neighbors, I was finally able to take a shower and put on clean clothes and wear shoes.
After Shabbat I will take off my clean Shabbat clothes and put back on the clothes I wore to the funeral and had been wearing also on the plane.
My kids are taking good care of me.
I was picked up at the airport and bought coffee so I wouldn't fall asleep too early or too late. When I got home, I could see that the house has been scrubbed and the livingroom rearranged. We'll be eating a combination of the food brought in by neighbors and cooked by my kids.
I am not interfering. Yes, I admit that not interfering is tough for me.
I really am sincerely grateful.
I have a super wonderful family and community.
Shabbat Shalom to all
