Shiv'ah (שבעה Hebrew: "seven") is the name for Judaism's week-long period of grief and mourning for the seven first-degree relatives: father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, or spouse, granparents are not included. As most regular activity is interrupted, the process of following the shiv'ah ritual is referred to as sitting shiva.
